Synopsis
Eleven-year-old Kathryn is paralyzed by social anxiety. Isolated from her classmates, she spends her time in the basement obsessing over winning a film festival—and a trip to Alfred Hitchcock's old movie sets. If only her stop-action figures didn't fall apart. Enter latchkey kid Nadia, the extroverted new neighbor with a gift for creating art. She's exactly who Kathryn's been waiting for, but with anxiety trying to block her at every turn, can Kathryn find a way to take the hand that's being offered and reach for her dream?
