Everything went according to plan, until now.
Jude Lavine is the Queen Bee of Lakeview High. Until she isn't. Her reign comes to a crashing end when her football captain-boyfriend of three years, Josh, dumps her for another girl. Her whole life seemingly ends and she cant help but spiral. However, Nikki Singh, the school's eclectic head of the yearbook department, has developed an odd obsession with Jude and befriends her during this time. With the new addition of Nikki's chaotic energy and her quirky friend group, Jude faces trials and situations she never thought she'd meet, growing into a completely different person. Through this relationship, Jude realizes there are more important things in her life than popularity.

This seven-episode coming-of-age limited series aims to tell a story about young women and how they connect with one another outside of the male gaze. The theme of this project is female friendship and exploring the relationships young people have with each other and the social hierarchy. The energy is supposed to be dreamy, quirky, funny and dramatic, in an effort to show how important everything seems when one is in high school. We have completely finished principal shooting for the whole series and have finished post production on episode one. We are currently submitting our pilot to local and out of state film festivals. This production was done on a micro-budget, and a tight shooting schedule. The post production is done entirely by the two-person-team of the Yum-Shusters.
