VALLEY HIGH is a short musical film that uses music to tell the story of three bullied and tormented teenage boys who long for attention, acceptance, and love in a world that refuses to give that to them. Having no one to turn to but each other in this vulnerable time, the three boys band together to then turn dangerously against those who have done them wrong.
Based on the song of the same name by Broadway composer, Drew Gasparini, with orchestrations by award winning musician, Charlie Rosen, and written and directed by Christopher Michaels, VALLEY HIGH takes the audience on a frightening and unsettling journey. From plotting and planning in one boy's bedroom, into the interrogation room for heartbreaking confessions, and ending up in the courtroom to await their fate, we weave in and out of flashbacks as the audience experiences taunting and torture right along with our three main characters, catching a glimpse as to why no one ever saw it coming from the boys at Valley High.
Produced in association with Jeremy Terry Productions and 5lvin Productions.
