Nanaimo students write, produce, and direct a high school survival film
The trailer has been viewed over 22,000 times on YouTube…and the DVD is about to be released. For eleven months, a core group of students at Nanaimo’s Wellington Secondary School have been at work on the feature film, “How to Survive the 10th Grade,” with a cast of forty students, ten crew members, and others. The film touches on a range of high school issues, including drug use, violence, rivalry and peer and sexual pressure.
We’re joined in the studio by How to Survive the 10th Grade director and screenwriter Devyn Brugge, editor Kevin Ackeral, and actor Yvonne Dubyna.
