Now I’m depressed! Not really, but I am called to re-examine my priorities when it’s taken into account that Emily Hagins, the writer/director of the above horror comedy, is only 17 years old. Not only that - this girl emerged onto the scene when she was 12 and became a starlet of the film festival circuit at 14 when the 2009 documentary Zombie Girl chronicled her rise to fame.

Is My Sucky Teen Romance a film I’m chomping at the bit to see? Not quite. Still, the girl undoubtedly has cinematic chops and a knack for witty dialogue, so I’m anxious to see where she ends up in her career.
