Dallas filmmaker Isreal Luna crafts an inspiring and amusing story about a 15-year-old high school misfit who overcomes a tragic loss by uniting an unlikely group of friends. When Cynthia Shelly meets Taylor Nash, the two become fast friends until Taylor is killed in a house fire. Devasted by the loss of her new friend, Cynthia fights an uphill battle to put on a talent show to raise funds for her late friend's father, the fire's only survivor. Meeting deadends at every turn, she assembles a motley crew of outcasts to pull off the project and learns a few of life's tough lessons along the way. Director Isreal Luna and many cast and crew members will attend. 113 min., 2003, USA, video
