The Toronto Film Festival selection "Guidance" has been picked up by Strand Releasing.
The film, starring, directed by and written by Pat Mills, has a premise like a sitcom: an immature former child actor cons his way into a job as a high school guidance counselor and gives typically terrible advice. The protagonist is based on Mills, who appeared on Nickelodeon’s "You Can’t Do That On Television" when he was a kid.
Strand is planning a theatrical release in the Fall.
