We are thrilled to present Rising Stars as our closing film for the festival, and invite you and your entire family to come out and see the movie, and meet some special guests flying in for the screening!

A family musical with heart, Rising Stars explores the sacrifices that come with fame in reality television-obsessed culture. Challenged with creating songs and music videos, three musical acts find more than their futures on the line when the competition gets fierce and their lives are caught on tape broadcast to the nation.
