Synopsis by Eleanor Mannikka

In this funny film about the inventiveness of teens, 14-year-old Alex (Martin Yost) is longing for the winsome Sally (Heather Kennedy) and cons his father into fronting the money to begin a video software business -- when all along, Alex just wants to capture as much of Sally on tape as he can. He is joined in his endeavor by his friend Nicholas (Jeff Edmond), and the two expand their film project beyond the confines of Sally's life alone. Their camera skills come in handy when Nicholas is expelled from school by a mean-spirited principal, and the two boys convince a friendly prostitute to entrap the principal in some compromising positions, hoping to use the video they make for leverage -- or blackmail, in more direct terminology.
