Metamorphosis Junior Year

< Return to program

Running time: 90 mins

A dash of weed, a splash of Greek mythology, and a pinch of art. It’s high school. What can go wrong? Created by Palo Alto High School students, in collaboration with James Franco, Metamorphosis Junior Year is a beautiful coming-of-age tale. Following Ovid, an angsty teenage boy trying to make sense of life, love, sexuality, and friends, audiences are taken on a stunning journey through the mind as he analyzes the world around him. A portrait of self-discovery, that anyone who ever was a teenager will enjoy, Metamorphosis Junior Year, captures adolescence in all its glory: mentors, girlfriends, boyfriends, drugs, and dreams.
