I’ve been describing this movie to a lot of my friends as “Its very much The Breakfast Club, Rebel Without a Cause.” It’s those movies. The underdogs, in a very different way than Glee. Glee is also about…it kind of has the underdog theme. But this is more about these very adult teens, who are kind of on this journey and they don’t quite know for very different reasons why they don’t quite fit in, or they are starting to realize why they don’t quite fit in. With Sarah, she’s smart and she knows what she wants. But she’s not going to compromise herself anymore within her high school to be “accepted”, or popular, or anything like that. She’s found her niche in photography and it’s something that really drives her. She’s just kind of holding out until she can leave town, and kind of go on her own, and blossom even more. But until then, she meets this character John. And it’s almost like a chance to start over with him because he’s from out of town, there’s something kind of mysterious about him, but he’s kind to her. They very quickly form this very serious relationship and then when things get somewhat crazy…
