SYNOPSIS Metamorphosis: Junior Year is a film about becoming. Created by Palo Alto High School students in collaboration with James Franco and based on a Young Adult novel by Betsy Franco, this coming-of-age tale takes on the myriad themes which define youth: identity, sex, purpose, drugs, self-image. Haunted by the disappearance of his sister and plagued by his parent’s expectations, young artist Ovid uses mythology and drawings to understand the world around him while his friends become our window into current high school life—from potheads to poets and shoplifters to singers.
Friendship, drama, betrayal, and redemption abound as we see how these teenagers relate to one another and the environment around them. Their transformations take on new resonance as we remember that growth is essential to all living things. Animated interludes add whimsy and originality to this modern mythology for a new generation.
WORKSHOP FOR TEENS
There will be a screenwriting workshop afterwards for teens! https://www.mvff.com/behind-

How fantastic to have a book club that brings teens and adults together!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to come to that book club! The movie is exciting too.
ReplyDeleteMe too. But I think if I join that one, along with the other book clubs and author events that I go to, I might come home to an empty house!
