Clark attempted to write the first script for '' Ken Park '' , basing it on personal experiences and people with whom he had grown up . Dissatisfied with his own draft , he hired Harmony Korine to pen the screenplay . Clark ultimately used most of Korine 's script , but rewrote the ending . The film was given a $ 1.3 million budget . The arrangement was to film using digital video , but Clark and Lachman used 35 mm film instead . Although it was sold for distribution to some 30 countries , the film was not shown in the United Kingdom after director Larry Clark assaulted Hamish McAlpine , the head of the UK distributor for the film , Metro Tartan . Clark is alleged to have been angry over McAlpine 's remarks about 9/11 . Clark was arrested and spent several hours in custody , and McAlpine was left with a broken nose . The film has not been released in the United States since its initial showing at the Telluride Film Festival in 2002 . Clark says that this is because of the producer 's failure to get copyright releases for the music used . The film was banned in Australia due to its graphic sexual content and portrayals of underage sexual activity after it was refused a classification by the Australian Classification Board on June 6 , 2003 . A protest screening held in Sydney , hosted by esteemed film critic Margaret Pomeranz , was shut down by the police . The films remains banned in Australia to this day and has not been successfully appealed since
