 Mini's First Time Production NotesTagline: Sex, Murder, Blackmail. There's a first time for anything.
Desperate to be free from her drunken, unloving mother Diane, the beautiful, scheming young Mini (Reed) seduces her stepfather Martin (Baldwin) and soon convinces him to join her in a sadisctic scheme to have Diane declared insane. But their conspiracy soon escalates to murder and when John Garson, a young detective starts investigating, Martin and Mini begin to turn on each other.
"Mini's First Time," starring Nikki Reed, proves that having it all comes at a steep price. Mini has a deep loathing for her embittered gold digging mother, Diane (Carrie-Anne Moss).
But, Mini has an idea: she is going to follow in the footsteps of her dear mother and get what she wants, when she wants it. The first and most important step is becoming the apple of her very rich stepfather's (Alec Baldwin) eye. With a little coaxing, she persuades him that life would be a lot more fun without mom around.
"Mini's First Time" is an irreverent, scandalous, edgy black comedy with superb performances featuring Nikki Reed ("Thirteen," "Lords of Dogtown," "The OC"), Alec Baldwin and Carrie-Anne Moss. The film is an audacious debut feature from writer/director Nick Guthe.
About the Film (Director's Statement)
"Mini's First Time" was born from a number of factors. I had always wanted to make a film about someone who viewed their life as an opportunity to live as originally as possible. Not to define their success by money or status, but simply by how many unique experiences they could achieve in their lifetime. It also came out my frustration with watching a string of movies about the teenage experience in America that did not resemble any high school or teenagers I had ever known.
The film, while a dark comedy, is also intended as a cautionary tale about what happens to children who are unwanted and left to raise themselves, how their moral compasses often do not fully develop. Mini is intended to be an embodiment of our "latch key" society. The film is also the reflection of a society where adults frequently abdicate social responsibility when it doesn't fit their immediate personal needs.
While some of the events in the movie may seem extreme, they were actually directly inspired from articles I had read in the media as I was writing the script. Truth is often stranger than fiction, and at the end of the day I hope the audience enjoys the ride, while recognizing that the film is simply a reflection of the America we live in today.
