Molly Maxwell is just your average teenage girl, but in the classrooms of Phoenix Progressive School every student is a "precious snowflake". Shot and set in Toronto, Molly Maxwell takes us into the world of the alternative and artsy west-end teenager. At the risk of failing her extra-curriculars, Molly launches into a last-minute independent study project and manages to wrangle her impossibly sexy English teacher into serving as her staff advisor. The story that follows is a touchingly honest look into their undeniable attraction. Take a look at the trailer below:
Although Molly's experiences may not be those of your average teen, this sweet and simple story manages to capture the universal feeling of being sixteen. Writer/Director Sara St. Onge has created characters we can all relate to, and who remind us of what it was like to feel misunderstood, wise beyond our years, and sexually awakening. The story and characters all shine with a ring of truthfulness and honesty without ever slipping into the overdone cliches of teenage angst and inappropriate love affairs.
An extra treat for Torontonians is the far too rare opportunity to see our city shine as the setting of a feature film. Locals will be pleased to see scenes filmed in Parkdale, on Toronto Island, and on TTC streetcars. The film also features original music written and performed by Toronto based actor/singer Brendee Green.
Molly Maxwell is playing a very limited, one-week engagement at the Carlton Cinema until April 25th.
