Director Statement

"Prom Posers", my senior thesis film, is the product of 8 months of hard work by a team of dedicated and creative student filmmakers. We all had the singular goal of making a funny and heartfelt crowdpleaser that reminded us of the classic buddy comedies we loved growing up, such as "Wedding Crashers" and "Superbad". The process of making this film was fun, challenging, and meaningful all at once, and I wouldn't trade it for the world.

I truly hope you enjoy the film.

Sincerely,
Gal
