Exclusive: Harvey Guillén (What We Do in the Shadows) has been cast in the Catherine Hardwicke-directed movie Street Smart.

The drama feature heralds Hardwicke’s return to her storytelling roots from such past work as Lords of Dogtown and Thirteen, while revisiting her exploration of found-family dynamics in Twilight. She co-wrote Street Smart with New York Times bestselling author and screenwriter Nic Sheff (13 Reasons Why).

Hardwicke and producers Natalie Marciano and Jamie R. Thompson began principal photography at the end of January in Los Angeles.

Street Smart offers a gripping look into the lives of a lively group of unhoused young adults in the iconic beach town of Venice, CA. They come together with humor and a bit of Robin Hood-style larceny, forging unbreakable bonds and redefining what it means to be a family.
