  Richard Linklater's Slacker presents a day in the life of a subculture of marginal eccentric and overeducated citizens in and around the University of Texas at Austin. Shooting the film on 16mm for a mere $23 000 writer/producer/director Linklater and his close-knit crew of friends eschewed a traditional plot choosing instead to employ long takes and fluid transitions to create a tapestry of over a hundred characters each as unique as the last culminating in an episodic portrait of a distinct vernacular culture and a tribute to bohemian cerebration. Slacker is a prescient look at an emerging generation of aggressive nonparticipants and one of the keynote films of the American independent film movement of the 1990s.
