Lucas Grabeel (High School Musical) and Drew Seeley (Another Cinderella Story) appear in I Kissed a Vampire, a musical that follows a teenage boy who is turning into a vampire.

Circle of Lies, starring Hilary Caitens and Anna Lawrence, tells the story of a popular high school student on a mission to destroy her schoolmate’s reputation.

MarVista Entertainment will present all three movies to global buyers at this year’s MIPCOM.

"As more platforms look to target the youth demographic, we’ve been actively engaged in acquiring telefilms that feature salient story lines for teens that include aspirational romance, peer pressure and teen rivalries, the meaning of true friendship, and lots of music with rising stars," said Vanessa Goglio Shapiro, the executive VP of sales for MarVista. "Today’s teens are very media savvy who demand relatable material that engages and entertains and high quality production values and our new teen-focused movies deliver on both."
