'The Truth, a Short Film' is the story of a girl on the cusp of growing up. She is suddenly faced as she leaves childhood with all sorts of dilemmas, issues, and feelings. She falls in love for the . . . first time, she realizes that her family is holding secrets, she can't get the answers she needs about growing up from her mother, she is facing moving to a new town and more. With all that goes on she discovers a way to hold on to the best of her self and finds herself more ready than she expected to grow up. This is a Selfie Film meaning that the actress did much of her own video recording as she talked into her diary, or was it her diary? See what you think as you view the film show more

Comments about 'The Truth, a Short Film' Barbara, I absolutely LOVE your film! I watched the whole thing just now and am in awe of what you have created! Every one of the selfie bits is authentic and moving and so affirming of girls on the cusp. I can't tell you how happy I am for you!! BRAVO Excellent!! Very real!! Well done Barbara! Instantly brings back all of those feelings of angst that all girls go through at that time in our lives. Well written and beautifully portrayed by the young actress. These are comments people left on my Facebook page after viewing 'The Truth' and voting.
