Much of the film was shot inside of Kevin Smith’s movie theater, the Smodcastle Cinemas in Atlantic Highlands, New Jersey. In an interview with Deadline, Smith clarified that he intentionally wrote this film after purchasing the location, partially because it offered him a cost-free and visually inspiring locale. The 4:30 Movie stars a massive ensemble of talented performers, including Ken Jeong, Sam Richardson, Rachel Dratch, Justin Long, Jason Lee, Kate Micucci, Kevin Smith’s real-life daughter Harley Quinn Smith, and world-famous hip hop artists Logic and Method Man.
