The director/co-star is in her early thirties playing a high school senior. She looks young, but certainly not 18. She should have stuck to directing and gotten a younger actress to play the role.

Such an emotional film. The awkward tension between the main characters (Tyler and Rose) is so well portrayed by both Alexandra Swarens and Emma Maddock. They seem to have a real chemistry much the same as that displayed in the LA WebSeries.

There is as much to take away from the silent moments as those with dialogue. Watching the relationship develop is full of wonderful heartfelt moments as they initially struggle to express themselves, with the attraction always being evident (more so from Tyler) increasing as they get to know each other.

A big fan of City of Trees also, another Alexandra Swarens movie. I really want to see more.

Swarens is ludicrous as a teenager and tbh it made the viewing experience so uncomfortable. I don't rate her as an actor in this, though director-wise I can see some value. The age disparity in the actors made me cringe, and Tyler as a character is full and without notable merit. Unfortunately I can't get past that.

Well done to all involved. A good example of how even on a modest budget (crowdfunded apparently), a tight script and good acting can deliver a very nice movie experience.

I really liked Alexandra Swarens and Emma Maddock.in the lead roles of Tyler and Rose. I also thought the immediate entry into the story without significant delivery of backstory or subsequent exposition worked VERY well. I wish more movies would do this - let the audience work on understanding why the characters are who they are - we becomes much more invested in them, plus it gives the actors so much more to work with. My only small quibble were the scenes with Rose and her mother - I just didn't feel they worked vey well and I wonder if what these scenes were trying to accomplish couldn't have been done another away. Again, just a small criticism, though - other than this the story moved very nicely.

Good job!

This movie is truly what the tag line says, not a coming out story but a true 'coming of age'. The fact that it was a crowd funded movie doesn't take away from the actresses chemistry on set. It's indie and simple and the moments that the main characters get closer and closer in their relationship reminds me so much of my high school experience. It was nostalgic to watch and truly a beautifully, simple film that had a queer story to tell and it did just that, plus the ending that wrapped it up in a nice bow.
