WHAT THE STUDIO WANTS YOU TO KNOW

    Writer/Director Zach Braff delivers "an Oscar-worthy performance" (CBS-TV Chicago) in this quirky coming-of-age comedy that has been hailed as "the seminal film of today's generation" (USA Today).
    Twentysomething, emotionally detached Andrew Largeman (Braff) returns home to New Jersey after nine long years. Now, as he tries to re-connect with his past, a series of chance encounters with Sam (Natlie Portman) - a free-spirited girl who's everything he isn't - sets the stage for a fateful, mind-blowing take on what his future might hold. Co-starring Peter Sarsgaard, Ian Holm and Method Man, Garden State is hilarious" (Rolling Stone)

TRIVIA TO IMPRESS YOUR EASILY IMPRESSED FRIENDS

• In addition to being the star and writer/director of this film, Zach Braff also produced the Soundtrack for the album and chose the songs which appeared in both the film and on CD. He was methodical about the songs setting the mood for the film, and when searching for funding he would send along a homemade CD of the music that would appear in the film along with the script. His efforts paid off, he won a Grammy for his work in 2004 for best Soundtrack.
• Zach Braff based this film on his own experiences as a struggling actor before making it big with the television series Scrubs. Many of the locations seen and spoke of in the film are based on Braff's own childhood growing up in New Jersey.
• This film was financed primarily by a retired mortgage broker named Gary Gilbert who gave Braff 2.5 million dollars of his own money to make the film. The film was later purchased for 5 million dollars when it premiered at Sundance.
• Originally this film was titled Large's Ark, and while the name didn't stick to the film, the name did stick for Braff's production company, which is credited at the end of the film as Large's Ark Productions.
