DIRECTOR JULIE DRESSNER AND FILM SUBJECT ENOCH JEMMOTT ATTENDING!

Documentary filmmakers Juliane Dressner and Edwin Martinez shine a light on the story of a group of high school seniors serving as peer mentors. Karoline, Christine and Enoch balance their own college applications with their passion to help others, even as the reality of college remains shrouded in unknowns. Uplifting and eye-opening, Personal Statement follows both the interior journey of the three students as well as the broader issues facing young people today–economic disparity, lack of opportunities and the daily struggle to make sense of the college application process itself. As the graduating class takes their first steps toward both planned and unplanned futures, it becomes clear that the film is as much about the uncertainties of growing up as it is the strength of the young people taking the future into their own hands.
