Story of My Life

Freshly graduated from highschool, my charactor, Cooper, played by Ellen Page decides that she's going to drive a cross country trip to California to visit her older sister Bella. Her mother (Susan Sarandon) does everything in her power to stop her, even threatening her college career. After conveying her plans to her two best friends Ella and Sophia, (Amanda Bynes, & Oleysa Rulin) they quickly join her knowing that this would be one of their last great adventures before they split up in the fall. Through out the movie though they come up with tons of problems giving them reasons to go back home, but they decide to shut all communication off to home, and finish the trip with style.

I decided to have Ellen Page portray myself because I feel that she could really bring out a lot of my dry humor that some people don't get. For my mom I needed somebody who could seem very angry and uptight, but could show they cared too. For my two best friends, I needed one actress who could be crazy all the time, and one who is almost motherly-like.
