directed by Kristen Searles
An eclectic group of six mid-pubescents vie for the spelling championship of a lifetime. While candidly disclosing hilarious and touching stories from their home lives, the tweens spell their way through a series of (potentially made-up) words, hoping never to hear the soul-crushing, pout-inducing, life un-affirming “ding” of the bell that signals a spelling mistake. Six spellers enter; one speller leaves! At least the losers get a juice box.
Front: Gabrielle Beaudoin, Janelle Raven, Zack Balkcom. Middle: Kristen Searles Brackett, Scott Parsons, Rachel Potter. Back: Camden Colby, Karianna Merrill, Aaron Skolfield.
