Girl in Progress (2012)

Girl in Progress is an upcoming comedy-drama film about the life of a thirteen-year-old girl who is dissatisfied with her life and tries to enter adulthood through a series of rites of passage, succeeding only in creating one crisis after another.

Synopsis - Grace is a single mom. She is too busy juggling work, bills, and the very married Dr. Hartford, to give her daughter, Ansiedad the attention she desperately needs. When Ansiedad's English teacher, Ms. Armstrong, introduces her students to classic coming-of-age stories, Ansiedad is inspired to skip adolescence and jump-start her life without mom. While Grace becomes preoccupied with the increasing affections of her co-worker, Ansiedad enlists the help of her loyal friend, Tavita, to plot her shortcut to "adulthood". But as her misguided plan unravels, Ansiedad and Grace must learn that sometimes growing-up means acting your age.

The film is directed by Patricia Riggen starring Eva Mendes as Grace, Cierra Ramirez as Ansiedad, Patricia Arquette as Ms. Armstrong, Matthew Modine as Dr. Harford and Landon Liboiron as Trevor. Scheduled to be released on April 27, 2012 by Pantelion Films.
