This is a listing for an American Teen DVD. Brand
new. Never opened. Still shrink wrapped. Non-smoking home.
Documentary following the lives of four teenagers--a jock, the popular girl,
the artsy girl and the geek--in one small town in Indiana through their senior
year of high school. We see the insecurities, the cliques, the jealousies, the
first loves and heartbreaks, and the struggle to make profound decisions about
the future. Filming daily for ten months, filmmaker Nanette Burstein developed
a deep understanding of her subjects. The result is a film that goes beyond the
enduring stereotypes of high school to render complex young people trying to
find their way into adulthood. Hannah Bailey is smart and beautiful, but a
misfit in her high school. She is a liberal, atheist living in a traditional,
Christian, conservative town and dreams of moving to California after
graduation. Colin Clemens is the star of the high school basketball team--and
in Indiana, basketball is everything. Colin is under enormous pressure this
year playing not only to make his town, his school, and his father proud, but
for a college scholarship. Jake Tusing is considered to be a nerd in high
school. Though quite funny and charming one-on-one, he is painfully shy in
group situations and crushed with self-doubt. In his senior year he vows that
nothing will stand in the way of him finding a girlfriend. Megan Krizmanich is
the student council Vice President and the youngest daughter of a prominent
local surgeon, anxiously awaiting word from Notre Dame University admissions.
Wealthy, pretty, smart and popular, she rules her high school--just don't get
on her bad side. When Megan's peers challenge her authority, she can't help but
take action, even if it means risking her future. Mitch Reinholdt is an
attractive and charming Varsity basketball jock with a soft side. When he puts
his social status on the line, avoiding his popular friends for dates with
artsy Hannah Bailey, he strains to maintain his reputation while discovering a
new side of himself.
