About The Howie Rubin Story
A light-hearted coming-of-age comedy set in 1950s New York. Follow Howie, a lovable nerd with big daydreams, as he navigates the ups and downs of teenage life and tries to win the girl of his dreams. Full of humor, heart, and classic 50's charm, this short film captures the trials, tribulations, and fantasies of growing up. This film won 26 awards internationally and nationally, winning more recognition than any other nontheatrical U.S. film in 1992.
Directed by Rod Cohen, The Howie Rubin Story leans on a strong ensemble — Darin Morgan, Carrie Payne, Joanne Baron — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1990.
