Production & Post-Production
Teens behind the scenes
You may have noticed, there are no adults in this film. That’s because this film is about teens talking to teens.
Teens also contributed during the shooting and editing of this film. Teen artists created original music, photography, cinematography, artwork, graphics and poetry. They stood in as extras, managed the data, worked as production assistants, and social media managers.

Nick Lopez
“For me, the song is all about reminiscing on the good parts of my high school years, just about having fun, letting loose, etc. I think I was feeling particularly stressed one night and I just thought to myself, "it would be really therapeutic for me to write an upbeat song about the good things in life." And so came the song.”
