Things aren’t always as they seem as we delve into the ins and outs of a teenage relationship as the couple navigates through rough patches, happy moments, and the brief stillness in between.

As cliche as it is, I want to communicate that you should never judge a book by its cover. In this case, I want to communicate how complicated relationships can be and how there’s no right way of judging a relationship or the people in it. You can’t always read what’s going on. I want the audience to understand that there’s a lot of layers to every relationship.

I think the whole crew’s favorite scene to film was scene four because we got to play around with lighting the most, and also work on our cinematography skills. It took the most amount of takes, but it also gave us the most laughs which is just as important if not more so.

I think they’re important because it gives students the opportunity to branch out artistically. A lot of the time, schools don’t have spaces for students to harbor their creativity in their own unique way. I think that having a program like film prize junior has helped in creating a space for students to learn more about how to work in teams on an artistic project rather than academic. I think it also helps students understand more about how filmmaking might be in the real world. It tears down false-hopes and misconceptions and shows the real stuff, which I think is so important.

There were a couple, but one of the big ones was when one of our main actors got sick and had to call out the day we started filming. We ended up working around it and we ended up with something really fantastic. Another problem I personally had was around editing. It’s my favorite and least favorite process. It’s fun to edit until you have to export the project and share it, it just takes a lot of patience, which is hard to have when you’re in a time crunch.

It feels like a lot of time, but it’s not. Don’t wait too long to do any of the work because it will always take longer than you think. Post-production will take the longest so allow yourself ample time to edit. Be confident! You can do amazing things, so why doubt yourself?
