Details.
Wiki.
Teenage Hitchhikers is a 1975 exploitation comedy road movie written, directed, and produced by Jerome S. Kaufmann. Kathie Christopher and Sandra Peabody star as Mouse and Bird, two teenage girls who embark on a journey West in search of freedom, excitement, and independence.
Cinematographer Bill Lamond signed on to the project after being approached by Kaufmann to work on the film. Kaufmann and Lamond worked at the same television advertisement company. Production began in September 1973 for a week on a low budget of $15k. It was released into drive-in theaters in 1974 to generally favorable reviews that highlight the comedic timing of Christopher and Peabody and the film's social commentary.
The film is one of filmmaker Quentin Tarantino's favorite films and got included in the sixth semi-annual lineup of his Quentin Tarantino Film Festival in 2005 in Austin, Texas.
