Into The Spotlight, a feature film with a screenplay done by 15-year-old Kate Larson, has been picked up by Entertainment Squad, and now has a release date according to Hollywood Reporter. 

Set to release on VOD September 1st, Into The Spotlight is a coming-of-age story that follows a high schooler who grew up with exposure to music thanks to her rock star dad. She’s always preferred to stay behind the scenes, but when her friend can’t perform at the high school talent show, she steps in and discovers an enchanted, vintage microphone, which helps pave her way to instant success. But when the success goes to her head, it’s up to her friends and family to pull her back down to earth and help her realize what really matters. 

The film is directed by Lisa Arnold and stars Leigh-Allyn Baker and Karen Abercrombie alongside Larson herself. “At 15 I saw the world shutting down and my friends losing hope so, I wrote Into the Spotlight,” Larson said, in regards to the inspiration. 

“From struggling with dyslexia as a younger child to creating a story to inspire my generation, it has been truly magical. Into the Spotlight has changed my life and I know girls everywhere need this story about overcoming insecurity, friendship, love, empowerment, and staying true to who you were meant to be.”

Into The Spotlight will be available to watch starting on September 1st.
