This is a documentary about a performance camp in the catskills or that's what I gather from the plot synopsis. It recommends if you like "Stagedoor" see "Seed of Chucky." Wow.
shareWell, I go to Stagedoor, and I can assure you my experience there has been nothing like "Seed of Chucky"... I haven't seen this, but I don't know what they are talking about...
shareYeah, if you like movies done by bad director's-also check out "Seed of Chucky". That's why that's there.
shareuuh bad director? this was a great film
shareTHIS FILM WAS AMAZING! MOVIEKID IS A DICHHEAD HE HAS NO IDEA WHAT HE IS TALKING ABOUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
shareThis is something that I said before about this movie, so I am pasting it here for you to read. It's basically my review of the movie. This movie, like all forms of art, is taken however you want to see it. You dont' have to agree, but I do think if you're going to be childish and put stupid comments, you should know where the other person is coming from.

Stagedoor isn't that great as a film. The camera work alone is so bad it looks like a a ten year old was hired to man the camera. The five kids featured ARE talented, but anyone that has been to a camp like that knows there is much more to these whiny divas behind the scenes. Ms. Shiva(the director)misses this. Then the couselors (ever heard of those who can't do, teach?)are so full of themselves, it's beyond campy. Ms. Shiva had a chance for people to see these kids beyond their crazy, outgoing, "wear our emotions on our sleaves" selves, and see the creativity that really is there. How come alumni (Felicity Huffman, Robert Downey Jr, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Natalie Portman, Zach Braff, Mandy Moore, Reese Witherspoon to name a few) are never mentioned? Maybe that will show people that see this, that true talent CAN come from this place and that these kids CAN see a future in what they are doing.
Instead we see a jumbled, rushed mess, and two demensional view of the "traditional theatre kid".
SO, Am I still *beep*ed up, dude?
Don't be jealous that you can't act like us Stagedoorians.
shareI'm not jealous. Why the hell would I be jealous of stuck up rich kids, with stage parents stuck up their asses?
Doesn't sound like fun to me.
If you really are that talented, go to Hollywood or NYC and make it there. Have your parents use the money they wasted on camp on investing in getting you started somewhere else.
As a camper of stagedoor, I can say that if you watch the movie you get the wrong wrong wrong idea of it. It's a place where kids who have talent can spend their summers doing what they love but still enjoy their childhood. thats why parents spend money on it, not because they want their kids to get their starts. if parents want that, they push their kids through auditions during the rest of the year. Stagedoor is a place where kids can do what they love and not feel pressure. As much as i love stagedoor, this documentary does not portray it will.
I completely agree. That was my main point. Some kids seem to think this movie is great and all, but it does the school no justice. I don't think Stagedoor should have allowed this to be released. Someone else could have come in and done a great job showing the kids at their best, and the school for wat it really is.
