Wissenswertes

Poor White Trash is a crime-comedy film directed by Michael Addis. The film was released on June 16, 2000, and was distributed jointly by Hollywood Independents and the Xenon Group. The film stars an ensemble cast of actors, including Jaime Pressly and others, most of them before they became famous. The film was filmed in Benton and Du Quoin, Illinois; many extras in the film were local residents of the towns.

Production

The idea for the movie was conceived by Tony Urban who pitched it to eventual director Michael Addis via email. Although Urban lived in Pennsylvania and Addis in California, the duo teamed up to write the script, and didn't meet in person until the day before filming commenced.

The film was shot in the cities of Benton and Du Quoin, Illinois; many local residents, who appeared as extras, were told the film was a coming-of-age story about two rural teenagers with the title Goodbye Summer. After the announcement that the film was to be released under the title Poor White Trash, the mayors of both cities sent letters to the filmmakers objecting to it and requesting that it be titled differently.
