Hickey (film)

[1] As good at math as he is terrible with girls, Ryan Chess (Troy Doherty) has spent an entire summer pining away for his pretty and vivacious co-worker, Carly Alvarez (Flavia Watson).

And so he hatches a crazy plan to save the store by the end of the day and thereby make Carly fall in love with him, with the help of his best friend Jeremy (Zedrick Restauro), and his co-workers Ellen (Raychel Diane Weiner), and Gary (Ross Mackenzie).

The film's setting of Cy's Auto Sound & Stereo was meant to be similar to Fry's Electronics or Best Buy, but due to budget constraints, Grossman instead rewrote it as a small mom and pop type store, shot on location at Al and Ed's Car Stereo, a small southern California chain of car-centric stores.

[7] The film was released for a limited theatrical run in Los Angeles, starting January 6, 2017, exclusively at Arena Cinelounge in Hollywood.

[1][8][9] Gravitas Ventures distributed the film four days later on January 10, 2017, on multiple digital platforms including iTunes, Amazon, Google Play, Microsoft Store/Xbox, Vudu, YouTube, Vimeo, Video On Demand (via Charter Spectrum, DirecTV, and Verizon FiOS), and on DVD/Blu-ray.
