‘Teenage Dirtbag’ Spotlights CdA

Most people have memories of high school they would just as soon forget. Not Regina Crosby. The writer and director, now living in Los Angeles, used her four years of teen angst at Coeur d’Alene High School as the backdrop for her first film, “Teenage Dirtbag.” The movie, filmed on location in Coeur d’Alene in 2005, finally landed on the big screen Thursday for a one-night screening at the Garland Theatre. The indie flick is being screened in several large cities, including Los Angeles and New York, before being released Tuesday on DVD. It’s available on demand for some cable customers now. “This is the little movie that could,” Crosby said Thursday from Los Angeles, where she was preparing for the premiere there. “This movie has been propelled completely by word of mouth … there’s not a big marketing budget behind it”/ Sara Leaming , SR.
