Most of the cast of Almost Popular grew up in the Hollywood industry and have been child stars for most of their life. When a high school comedy comes around, they will jump on the opportunity to get that high school experience from their home-schooled life.
The coming-of-age high school comedy stars Ruby Rose Turner, Reid Miller, Isabella Ferreira, Ellodee Carpenter, Arden Myrin, Kathleen Rose Perkins, and Elijah M. Cooper. Nayip Anthony Garcia (Apartment 157) directed the film, which Pamela Duffy-Little and Eleni Rivera wrote.
Here is the synopsis for Almost Popular:
Susie and Bobbie, high school juniors, go on a quest to fulfill their dream to become part of the elite POP Girls who rule the school. After a series of unfortunate and humiliating attempts, they learn what’s really important.
