Director Stephen Kijak talks with us making the film SHOPLIFTERS OF THE WORLD. It is a fictional film looking at the day THE SMITHS broke up. Hardcore and THE SMITHS are forever intertwined for many reasons. Whether it was the look of the band, the sound, the lyrical content... these seemingly unrelated musical styles were actually quite similar. Me and Stephen Kijak discuss the making of the film, his journey as a director, and MORE!These videos are part of an ongoing video series chronicling the hardcore punk music scene. They are an addendum to the film Orange County Hardcore Scenester. This is a documentary I made that chronicles the 1990s hardcore punk scene.

I met German Utria in the 5th grade in 1983 or so. Our friendship was forged on music, movies, food, and more. I also based the Gerry character in my films 1985-1986 and Cool Summer on this person who made (and continues to make) an indelible impact on me.In this final part of our interview done in 2024, we talk about how our friendship has endured over the decades and reconnecting with old friends.These videos are part of an ongoing video series chronicling the hardcore punk music scene.
