You've got this, Allie!

An uncertain young girl takes a leap and finds herself alone in a big city, surrounded by strangers for the first time in her life. But are we ever really alone in a crowd? "You've got this, Allie!" is about how far we're willing to go for others, unexpected friendships, and a cute dog.

Director Biography - Wren Petkov, Michelle Saal

Wren and Michelle met in sunny Dun Laoghaire, Ireland and instantly bonded over stories of immigrated parents, new beginnings, and human connection. Wren was born in Bulgaria to Armenian immigrant parents, and feels that he can belong anywhere in the world. Michelle was born in Ireland in an Estonian family, and wants to create a world where you CAN belong anywhere. We made the film as our thesis while studying at the Institute of Art, Design and Technology Dun Laoghaire, and poured everything we had into making it during Senior year.

Director Statement

"You've Got This, Allie" is a story we hold close to our hearts, and one that we've been wanting to tell since we first became friends. Having moved abroad for college and started our lives from scratch over and over, we wanted to create a film that serves as a message of hope to anyone who feels lost or alone.
