“We have had a wonderful experience working together on Green Eggs and Ham series and are thrilled to expand that relationship with our first Netflix feature film The Last Summer,” stated producer Mike Karz, commenting on the film’s acquisition by Netflix.
“I grew up on movies like Fast Times and Say Anything, and those films became iconic in large part because of their great casts,” explained Bill Bindley. “We’re really lucky to have this incredible group of young actors sign on with us.”
