help Mid90s FAQ
Why does Stevie start hanging out with the skateboarders in Mid90s?
Thirteen-year-old Stevie is trying to escape a volatile home dominated by his older brother Ian. He finds acceptance at a Los Angeles skate shop, where Ray, Fuckshit, Fourth Grade, and Ruben introduce him to skating and a riskier social world.
Did the actors in Mid90s actually know how to skateboard?
Several cast members were established skateboarders before acting in the film, including Na-kel Smith and Olan Prenatt. Their experience helps Jonah Hill stage the skating scenes around real movement and skate-shop culture rather than obvious doubles.
Why was Mid90s filmed in a square format?
Jonah Hill and cinematographer Christopher Blauvelt shot the film on 16mm with a boxy 4:3 image. That format, along with the grainy photography and period soundtrack, evokes skate videos and home recordings from the 1990s.
Is Mid90s based on Jonah Hill's childhood?
The film is not presented as a literal autobiography, but Hill drew on his memories of growing up around Los Angeles skate culture. Stevie, played by Sunny Suljic, is a fictional character rather than a direct portrayal of Hill.
