At Uprep, that empowerment shows up in the quiet, everyday moments between students and teachers.

We built this film around the small choices that completely shifts a student’s confidence and perspective. Working closely with the Uprep Schools, we cast more than three dozen real Uprep scholars and developed a script shaped by their real classroom dynamics, allowing the story to grow directly out of the relationships at the heart of the school.
