“The Preppie Connection,” a film conceived and directed by Joseph Castelo, a part-time Montauk resident, and based on true events, will open tomorrow in limited release and will also be available through video on demand by IFC Films.
Screened at the 2015 Hamptons International Film Festival, it was picked up for distribution in December. The film tells the story of a scholarship student who attends an elite private school. In the struggle to fit in, he finds that scoring drugs for the popular kids is the easy way to social success. The discovery is not without its consequences, however. Dylan Blue, who grew up in Water Mill, is part of the supporting cast.
