Educating Lacy

Lacy is a budding filmmaker who recently purchased a digital video camera. Not quite sure how the camera works, Lacy leaves it with her friend Jill while she goes off. But while Lacy is away, Jill inadvertently leaves the camera on and accidentally records her hot afternoon with her boyfriend. The on-camera results cause Lacy to have an idea for her latest film.

Directed by Francis Locke, Educating Lacy leans on a strong ensemble — Holly Hollywood, Laurie Wallace, Serrano Rios — 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 drama titles of 2006.
