Seventeen-year-old Hayley Saffitz, a confident, ambitious, aspiring animation director, participates in her idol's summer program but must risk her blossoming relationship with his son if she is to prove she is as talented as the boys. Hayley Saffitz is confident, ambitious, and intent on following in the footsteps of her hero, renowned animation director, Bryan Beckett. She is given a spot in his once-in-a-lifetime summer program, and hopes to secure one of the internship's coveted directing opportunities. But all of the director positions go to boys. And one of them is Bryan's son, Bear, who is apathetic for the internship. As they work together, the animosity between them thaws into undeniable chemistry-- but Hayley can't stop thinking about the chance she was refused. She recruits the five other women in the program to develop their own short to sneak into the film festival at the end of the summer-- and puts her blossoming relationship with Bear-- and her future-- at risk. -- adapted from jacket
