5-25-77 is a coming of age film written and directed by Patrick Read Johnson and produced by Fred Roos and Gary Kurtz. It stars John Francis Daley as a teenage filmmaker living in Wadsworth, Illinois, and his excitement for the premiere of Star Wars on May 25, 1977.[1] Johnson began funding the project in 2001 and filming took place in 2006. An incomplete "preview cut" was exhibited on May 25, 2007, at Star Wars Celebration IV[2] and at the Hamptons International Film Festival in 2008, where it won the Heineken Red Star Award.
The film was first known as 5-25-77; the title was then changed to '77. In 2012, the title was reverted to 5-25-77.[3]
In an interview Patrick Read Johnson said the film is finished and has a distributor in place for a theatrical and VOD release.
