I want the audience to have a good time following a fictitious story that could happen in anyone’s high school.

Opportunities like Film Prize Junior allow students like my peers and I to express ourselves in ways we usually aren’t able to. It allows us to put our creativity towards a project that isn’t on a canvas. It brings students from many different backgrounds together to create something better than ourselves.

The digging scene was the most fun because it had recently rained so the ground was slick so it was very hard to keep from slipping while shooting.

One of our biggest challenges was finding a place to film where people weren’t located. Being that we were filming during schools hours, people were located in most places we were trying to film. In making this film, I learned about my peers. I learned their likes and interests and how their creativity works.

I would tell them to be themselves. I would also tell them that if they were working in a group compromise is key. Everyone has different ideas and opinions so if you can meet everyone in the middle, the film we be something everyone enjoys equally.
