Kids In America

KIDS IN AMERICA is a reality-based comedy-darma about the experiences of young people in modern-day America. Set in the fictional Booker High School a diverse group of students are tired of seeing their freedoms taken away. They band together and change their world by empowering themselves and their community to protect freedoms of expression and speech. Holden Donovan (Gregory Smith) is fed up with Principal Weller (Julie Bowen) who goes to great lengths to stop the students from exercising their right to free expression. She expels a young woman for passing out condoms and advocating safe sex on national "safe sex" day and suspends two boys who were kissing in the hallway. Meanwhile, she is running for the Superintendent of their school district, which will give her a chance to practice her brand of administration beyond Booker High School. The students have an ally in Mr. Drucker (Malik Yoba) one of their teachers who encourages them to fight for their rights. He pays a price for his leadership and is fired by Principal Weller. He decides to use his dismissal to make a change of his own, by producing a documentary chronicling the experiences of students who are faced with similar issues. As the story unfolds, Donovan befriends a group of kids including love interest Charlotte (Stephanie Sherrin), Lawrence (the gay boy caught in the act in the hallway), Chuck, Walanda, Emy and Katy. Together they organize the student body to eventually take action and make change. They organize a campaign to inform the voting adult community of the principal's antics and ultimately Weller looses her election and is forced to leave Booker High.

Here i got the priviledge to talk to the amazing Director of this movie Josh Stolberg heres what he had to say about gregory...

"I agree with you... Gregory DOES kick ass. I directed this film and I can't say enough nice things about the guy. He's a true professional, both in front of the camera and on the set. He was incredibly easy to work with, always positive, always fully committed, and always bringing great ideas to the table (between you and me, I think he's going to make a great director one day). And he's also the kind of actor that makes the other actors around him look even better. Even when he nailed a scene perfectly he always wanted to have a go at it again, to see if he could do better.

I hope that helps. Thanks so much for writing."

I ALSO got to talk to Actor Chris Morris who plays Chuck Mcginn in Kids In America really nice guy. Heres what he had to say about Greg as well...

"hey jen whats up? No this is my first film. I'm a comedian from philly and
andrew shaifer was the writer and producer on this film and he is a great
friend of mine. He wrote the role of chuck mcginn around me and asked me to do
it, so i hope that its the start of a great career. Greg is a great dude, he
was really cool to be around, and a great actor. He's so young, but knows the
buisness, and is a pro. He even took me out to this club one night and we were
hanging out. Great man, and a good role model for you to have. Anyway take
care, and i hope you like kids in america, i saw it three weeks ago at a
special screening and it was great. Talk to you later.
