Everyone dreams of fame. From the nail-biting freshman auditions to the spectacular year-end performances, Fame High captures the in-class and at-home drama, competition, heartbreak, and triumph during one school year at the Los Angeles County High School for the Arts (LACHSA), also known as Fame High. Talented teenagers reach for their dreams of becoming actors, singers, dancers, and musicians. LACHSA is one of the most respected and competitive public arts high schools in the country. The arts teachers are working professionals, and some of the famous alumni include singing phenomenon Josh Groban, as well as actors Corbin Bleu, Jenna Elfman, and Anthony Anderson, and principal dancer of the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, Matt Rushing. Fame High is Academy Award Nominee Scott Hamilton Kennedy's follow-up to The Garden. This unique hybrid film is a Robert Altman-esque, coming-of-age, documentary-musical which follows a group of novice freshman and seasoned seniors struggling to find their voice - not only in their art but in life - with the help of, and sometimes in spite of, their passionate and opinionated families. Each has sacrificed countless hours to become artistically good, but will they become excellent and be satisfied both personally and professionally? Is the sacrifice worth the dream? This question is as relevant to these young artists as it is to their parents. In a time when performance-based entertainment is commonplace, it is safe to call Fame High the facts behind the fiction. Overnight success is a myth, and the true reality is nothing trumps endless hours of hard work. Shot over the course of sixteen months, we see these young people strive, struggle, grow, and change before our eyes. And you thought regular high school was tough...
Leave your thoughts about Fame High.
| Los Angeles TimesKenneth TuranIt's not only this idealism that makes the subjects of Fame High so compelling, it's also their honesty, their willingness to open a window into their lives at that pivotal moment when they're taking their first tentative steps toward becoming their own person personally and professionally. |
| New York TimesDavid DeWittFame High, a timely plug for arts education, does what its subjects hope to do: it opens our hearts and entertains with truth. |
| Village VoiceSteve EricksonThe dilemmas Fame High's four subjects face are real, and Kennedy gets plenty of drama from the prospect of failure and disappointment. |
| The Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeAn ordinary look at four extraordinary kids, Scott Hamilton Kennedy's Fame High sticks firmly to convention but will please viewers who can't help but want the doc's sympathetic teens to escape the heartbreak most would-be artists face. |
| VarietyRob NelsonDirector Scott Hamilton Kennedy (“The Garden”) favors formulaic uplift over investigation, failing to offer a p.o.v. on whether young creative people should be driven as mercilessly as these. Lackluster videography further dulls the pic, which culminates in frustratingly fleeting glimpses of the students’ year-end performances. |
| User ReviewDiana DThis movie really captures the essence of the struggle for fame in the entertainment world. I felt like my dreams were on the line. I definitely recommend. |
| User ReviewArpita MFame High is an incredible look at the reel Glee - high school students striving to make it big in the arts. It wonderfully follows several characters as they succeed - and sometimes don't succeed so much at the most competitive and high pressured arts high schools in Los Angeles. Totally recommend this new work by the extremely talented filmmaker behind the Oscar nominated The Garden. Jon |
| User ReviewDiane Fgreat documentary for those of us like documentaries on life we know |
| User ReviewValentina KA very open and unassuming documentary following the lives of several youngsters at a competitive LA art school. I felt for them very much, and this world is always curious to visit. The doc was made well, and I enjoyed it very much! |
| User ReviewHeather MThis movie reminded me of my high school experience. I guess I went to a performing arts school after all... |
