OTV: Gifts W/A Touch Of North Idaho


Filmed several years ago in and around Coeur d’Alene, the film “Teenage Dirtbag” was released on DVD in October, and can be found online and at some local video outlets. The plot will appeal to the angst-ridden teen lurking inside everyone on your shopping list. It’s an enjoyably dark drama that tells a tale of unrequited love between a Coeur d’Alene High cheerleader and an antagonistic stoner dude. Writer-Director Regina Crosby, it’s based the story on her own experiences at CHS in the late 80s, and it’s a slow-burner of a flick that will get under your skin and provoke an emotional response much deeper than you might originally suspect. Plus, it’s fun to check out all the familiar local landmarks that pop up in the background of many shots/OrangeTV, Get Out! North Idaho. More here.

Question: A DVD of "Teenage Dirtbag" is one of OTV's gift possibilities 'with a bit of North Idaho flair." Also, he has listed others. What would you suggest as a gift possibility this Christmas that has roots in the Inland Northwest?
