Little Hollywood, Tennessee

Each summer, twenty-four high school students across Tennessee are selected for one shot at creating a full-blown narrative motion picture. For one month, they live like college students, make difficult creative choices, and find out what they're made of when surrounded by skilled peers. On the precipice of the rest of their lives, these students navigate disagreement, impostor syndrome, and self-worth in this coming-of-age film that's a must-see for anyone with the creative urge.

Directed by Christian Whittemore, Little Hollywood, Tennessee leans on a strong ensemble — Amanda Dillingham, Spenser Fritz, Sam Dalton — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about documentary titles of 2026.
