    Thoughtful. Heartwarming. Fun. Musical. SO GOOD.

    If you are a fan of High School Musical (like so many of us still are *cough, cough* you have to admit it's true) then this is the movie for you & there is MORE to the story! YES, it's filled with great musical numbers but also you find yourself connected to the main character as if she were your best friend or you might take notice that her life is a mirror of your own life. This film is for every age! The story is thoughtful, inspiring, fun & makes you want to sing along to every tune. Did I mention that the writer Kate Larson was a teen when she wrote this story?! Truly amazing! Plz don't miss this film!

    Best Family Movie of The Year!!

    "Into the Spotlight" is a mesmerizing film that will strike a chord with preteens and teenagers. The characters are lovable, and the storytelling is skillfully executed, bringing the narrative to life. This musical feature is certain to captivate the audience with its musical numbers and choreography. The movie rekindles lost virtues in contemporary cinema, highlighting the importance of family bonds and the value of friendship. It conveys essential life lessons on forgiveness, truthfulness, uprightness, and faithfulness. Certainly, this movie has earned the title of our family's favorite of the year. We are eagerly looking forward to the potential sequel!

    Great movie for teens (and all ages)!

    This movie has everything...including talented & very believable actors, wonderful storyline with some surprising twists and turns, great singing & dancing to all original music, and everything in between. Lead actress Kate Larson, who wrote the script, is so talented and held her own opposite seasoned actors. Into the Spotlight will make you smile, laugh, and shed a few tears. The message is powerful & inspirational, especially for teens who are fed (by social media) to believe that becoming famous & rich, with tons of likes and followers is what it means to be successful!!

    Highly recommend!

    So FUN to watch!!!

    LOVED IT! This was so fun to watch! It's even better to be able to watch as a family and know that it's safe and entertaining. It made me laugh, cry, and even dance. I find it amazing that the young actress, Kate, wrote this film. She can write, act, sing, and dance. Raphael is also jaw dropping. Just, ALL of these kids...wow! I LOVE this new talent. I hope they can continue making great and wholesome films. Great quality, great direction, great sound, choreography, styling design, etc. I see bright future for Kate.

    I highly recommend it! We need to support films like this so they keep making more.

    Refreshing!

    ITS is a movie for the whole family and your teenagers will approve! The entire cast did an incredible job. Leigh-Allyn Baker is always knocks it out the park, while seeing Victoria Jackson was such a treat. The younger cast members were ALL just incredible! We were especially blown away to learn that ITS was written by the lead actress, Kate Larson! A teenager! So excited to see what she does next and we'll definitely be following the other cast members careers as well, Raphael Ruggero & Marisa Hampton to name a few! A great message that really speaks to this generation of teens trying to figure out who they are. So pleasant surprised by this heartwarming teen flick!
