Synopsis:

From IMDb: “16 year old Jessica Burns has a secret that she’s afraid to share with anyone – except her best friend, Brian Slater. For the past year she’s been victimized by another girl – her former friend, Avery Keller, one of South Brookdale High School’s most popular and beautiful students. What can you do when the world sees the image of a person but not the reality? With Brian’s help and a hidden digital camera, the evidence of Avery’s relentless harassment is captured and finally exposed-bringing both girls and their families face to face with the truth.”

Poster: C-

Review: The shame on one face and the defiance on the other easily evoke the film’s themes, but to anyone not familiar with the trailer, it doesn’t quite have the impact needed.

Trailer: C- / B+

Review: These are a terrific example of how a poor cut can make a film look generic or inventive. (#1) The first trailer looks like a fairly commonplace tween found-footage film that seems to lack depth. (#2) The second turns that all around and suggests a potentially tragic outcome that explores the difficult and challenging topic of high school bullying. That sudden turn around in trailer designs evokes every essence of how you can botch or sell a film.

Oscar Prospects:

None.
