Actors Michael Cera, Michael Angarano, AJ Mendez, Iman Karram, and more stepped out on the red carpet for the Tribeca Festival premiere of Sacramento at the BMCC Tribeca Performing Arts Center in New York City Saturday. We spoke to some of the film's stars about what this story means to them and what they hope audiences take from it. Sacramento tells the story of best friends Ricky (Michael Angarano) and Glenn (Michael Cera) as they set out on a California road trip. During their journey the two reflect on the history of their friendship, past mistakes they've made, and how they can navigate the future through personal growth and overcoming the fears of maturity. Also written and directed by Angarano, the film shows audiences that growing up is not linear, and that every new chapter of life is an evolution.

00:00Hi, I'm AJ Mendez, and you're watching Life Minute TV.
00:03So the film is about people grappling with becoming an adult, and really embracing that
00:14shift from being free, kind of a child, carefree, reckless, to having responsibilities on your
00:20plate.
00:21It has a really grounded, yet hilarious feel.
00:24We're watching Ricky and Glenn, which are Michael and Michael's characters, honestly
00:27having to come to terms with who they are, and the ways they need to grow up, and kind
00:31of buck up, honestly, in order to keep the people that they really appreciate and love
00:35in their lives.
00:36The two characters we play do not really mirror the people we are in real life.
00:42In the film, Mike plays Glenn, a guy who is very straight-laced and taken on the responsibility
00:48of being a husband and a father very seriously.
00:51My character is Ricky, and he's a little bit more of a loose cannon.
00:55Ricky is the one who brings them together, and at the end, of course, they obviously
01:00need each other more than they realize they did.
01:02There's a lot that each one of these characters is grappling with, especially Michael and
01:06Michael's characters, the way that they're learning and growing.
01:09Every chapter of your life is an evolution, and it's not losing something, it's a new
01:14world to enter, and growing is okay, and responsibility is okay, but you don't have to lose that
01:19child inside of you, and those relationships that meant the most to you when you were younger.
01:25You're welcome.
