Teen Tour
A shy Jewish teen grieving the end of her sleepaway camp childhood is reluctantly sent on a chaotic cross-country Teen Tour trip, where her vintage camera captures the shifting friendships, betrayals, and romances of a month on the road, forcing her to step out from behind the lens and finally become part of the picture herself.
Cole Quirk is a writer-director known for legal/crime dramas and quirky comedies.
