About The Film:
Gretchen has bigger problems than abysmal fashion sense: She’s 17, painfully awkward and stuck in the most unforgiving place on earth — high school. When her obsession with school bad boy Ricky gets out of hand, her mother sends her to an emotional treatment center to recover. She has to travel elsewhere, however, to truly begin to understand why she fixates on the wrong kind of guy. Davis delivers a unique performance as the perpetually uncomfortable Gretchen. Collins focuses on the smallest moments of adolescence and how they can explode into what feels like high drama in a teenager’s mind.

Gretchen was shot entirely in Austin, Texas and features a local cast and crew, the film went on to win top honors at the Los Angeles Film Festival.
