Storyline
Filmed over 12 years with the same cast, Richard Linklater's BOYHOOD is a groundbreaking
story of growing up as seen through the eyes of a child named Mason (a breakthrough
performance by Ellar Coltrane), who literally grows up on screen before our eyes. Starring Ethan
Hawke and Patricia Arquette as Mason's parents and newcomer Lorelei Linklater as his sister
Samantha, BOYHOOD charts the rocky terrain of childhood like no other film has before.
Snapshots of adolescence from road trips and family dinners to birthdays and graduations and all
the moments in between become transcendent, set to a soundtrack spanning the years from
Coldplay's Yellow to Arcade Fire's Deep Blue. BOYHOOD is both a nostalgic time capsule of
the recent past and an ode to growing up and parenting. Written by IFC Films

Trivia
The film began production as "The Untitled 12 Year Project" and then became just "12 Years".
But when the film was finished, Richard Linklater changed the title to Boyhood (2014), to avoid
confusion with the similarly-titled, Academy Award-winning 12 godina ropstva (2013). See

Quotes
Mr. Turlington: [Enters the darkroom] How long have you been in here, Mason?
Mason: Not sure.
Mr. Turlington: I'm sure: All class. Did you complete your image diary?
Mason: Not yet.
Mr. Turlington: Completed your digital contact sheet?
Mason: Not quite, but, I mean, it's not gonna take me long.
Mr. Turlington: "Not yet." "Not quite." Darkroom time is extracurricular. I mean, technically,
you don't ever have to be in here these days. And certainly not until you've completed your
assignments. That's the deal.
Mason: [Sarcastically] Sorry.
Mr. Turlington: I'm worried about you, Mason.
Mason: [laughs] Why is that?
