American Teen
Popularity is everything: break-ups and missed jump-shots are the end of the world, a college acceptance is a dream come true, and an e-mail forwarded to the wring people is your worst nightmare. Now experience senior year of high school through the eyes of five real-life Indiana teenagers: the Prom Queen (Megan), the Heartthrob (Mitch), the Jock (Colin), the Rebel (Hannah) and the Geek (Jake). This revealing year-in-the-life feature delivers the real heartbreak , hilarity and – OMG – drama of senior year first-hand from five very different viewpoints. And no matter who you identify with, everyone will relate to American Teen. Nanette Burstein’s (On the Ropes, The Kid Stays in the Picture) American Teen won the Directing Award at the 2008 Sundance Film Festival.

Hmmm
Interesting doc, although it feels staged at time and none of the principals is particularly likeable. That said, most of the parents are worse - does a teenage girl need to be told she's not special.

American Teen: Nanette Burstein interview
- 20 Mar 2009
After going down a storm at last year's Sundance Film Festival - including a best director award in the documentary category for Nanette Burstein - American Teen finally receives a release in the UK on 6th March. The film follows five typical teenagers as they go through the trials and tribulations of their final year at an unremarkable high school in Middle America.
