Storyline
New girl Cassie (Brandon Alexander III) and outcast Maggie (Dudley Beene) are easily the most awkward girls in high school. Together, they decide the way to win the hearts of the cute boys and popular girls is to come in first at the school talent show. But rivals Heather, Other Heather, and their popular boyfriends Brett and Dirk will stop at nothing to keep our heroes the laughing stock of the school. It's going to take makeovers, courage, and maybe even a little rapping to beat them in true 80s style. Written by

Trivia
Filmed in only 10 days, the budget was so tight the production could only afford two takes per shot. A number of the crew members and friends of the production double as extras. The models on the "Tiger Bop" posters, a reference to the 1980s teen magazine "Tiger Beat," were also friends of the cast who cameoed for free.

Ms. Wood:
These are just pictures of you dressed as a nun, with your first in your mouth. I see you shaved your cat.
Cassie:
Oh, I don't have a cat.

I've seen this movie twice on the festival circuit and I can't wait to see it again. It is a laugh riot from beginning to end. Every possible comedic moment is taken advantage of by this very talented cast and crew. Director Charlie Vaughn did a great job making sure all of the actors were portraying characters that lived in the same world. The script comes alive thanks to everyone in this movie with the main duo of Brandon Alexander and Dudley Beene drawing you in and almost immediately forgetting that the actors aren't really 16 year old girls. A lot of independent film falls apart in the post production but First Period is directed, styled and edited beautifully. This movie is well done all the way around and considering it is an independent movie done on a shoe string budget it is that much more of a towering achievement!
