Our story

In a weeklong college recruitment tour across Illinois, two admissions officers with opposing views of the college admissions system must confront the uneasy reality of deciding who gets to move forward, while their own futures remain uncertain.

Our cast

Our TEAM

We've spent years being told no. From colleges, internships, jobs, fellowships, festivals — the list goes on.

We’ve quit our stable jobs, moved across the country, and uprooted our lives in pursuit of this dream.

Making a movie is hard, but we know we have the right team to make this project happen and create our own yes.

We bring years of experience in writing, directing, cinematography, producing, marketing, and publicity — everything it takes.

We’re excited to bring ADMISSIONS into the world..
