An angsty teenager realizes family vacation isn’t so bad when she meets her first crush in this hilarious feature

Description

New York State Premiere.

Rebellious and angsty teenager AJ sets out on her family vacation with exceedingly low expectations, but what starts out as the trip from hell turns out to be a summer of awakening when she unexpectedly meets her first crush.

Writer/director Marley Morrison’s debut feature is full of characters with intricate internal lives. At once hilarious and poignant, with a brilliant ensemble anchored by a lead performance from newcomer Nell Barlow, SWEETHEART transcends the coming-of-age narrative with refreshing specificity and earned emotion.
