Ava mourns the loss of an important friendship as she prepares to set out to Harvard and leave her childhood behind.
One of my final acting debuts (thank god) and one of our earlier films that seemed like was kind of knew what we were doing. Thanks to the talented Faith Rodriquez as Director of Photography, we made a cute short about growing pains and moving on. We all have friendships that we’ve outgrown, which this film explores.
We made outgrown on a $0 budget (meaning we spend about $50 to feed people). This film was part of a 2020 project I started, where we selected a genre and made a film in 24 hours with what we had around us. We challenged ourselves to think outside of the box and just go out and make a movie. I find that so many people get wrapped up in the technical stuff that they forget the whole reason this is a dream career; because it’s fun. Our 24-hour challenges weren’t about making the best films that the world has ever seen so much as they were about making something fun and that we were proud of. Overall, I’m really proud of the work that was put into this film, and I’m grateful for the friends it bought me along the way. You can check out the behind-the-scenes of Outgrown below!
