SYNOPSIS
Eleven-year-old Lily is new in the neighborhood. Her body is changing and she is
starting to think about romance. When her mother, Nicole, drags her to the pool in a
new bikini, all of Lily's worries are realized. Unfortunately, Lily has more to fear than just
puberty and boys. Pushed by the subtle pressure of her mother and friends, Lily will find
herself trapped in the situation she most wanted to avoid.

documentaries focusing on non-profit groups in the Chicago area. Then, on a whim, he
moved to New York to assist on the post-production of Triviatown, a feature length
documentary about the worlds largest trivia contest in Stevens Point, Wisconsin. After
this film hit the festival circuit, Eric started at a daily hour long show for ESPN, and
within a year rose to the postion of post-production supervisor. His career then turned
to promo creation for a variety of cable television channels before moving to LA to
begin enrollment at the University of Southern Californias School of Cinematic Arts.
