SYNOPSIS

When a sex video of 13-year-old Deanna (Ryann Shane) and Tommy (Tyler Johnson) goes viral, her life of carefree innocence is changed forever. Three years later, Deanna is still dealing with the fallout of the video, including being branded the school slut. Her home life is even more troublesome as her father’s anger and disappointment over the incident has left him unable to look her in the eye. Ready to move on, Deanna longs to escape a life defined by the mistakes of her past.

Based on the eponymous novel by Sara Zarr, Kyra Sedgwick’s bold and graceful directorial debut takes a multi-faceted approach to exploring a young woman’s coming-of-age in the digital era, in which mistakes can be preserved on hard drives and cloud servers. Story of a Girl also stars Kevin Bacon, Jon Tenney and Sosie Bacon.

Story of a Girl is produced by Kikkosview. Sedgwick produces and directs from a script written by Laurie Collyer and Emily Bickford Lansbury, who also produces. The film is also produced by Liz Levine and Adrian Salpeter of Random Bench. Ross Katz is executive producer.
