APT to Rep Frontrunners

BOSTON: The international representation rights for the high-school election documentary Frontrunners have been awarded to APT Worldwide.

Produced by Oscilloscope Laboratories, the film follows the student council presidential campaign at Stuyvesant High School in New York City. Frontrunners, done in classic verité style, follows four candidates as they navigate an electoral process that is said to be one of the most competitive at the high-school level. These teenage candidates face the same issues as candidates of any age, such as picking the "right" running mate, shaking as many hands as possible, preparing for televised debates, impressing the pundits and journalistic community, addressing sensitive race-related issues and mobilizing apathetic voters.
