Being a teenager, especially a girl, is no easy task. Hormones and emotions run high and everything in your life is exaggerated.

Add into that scenario your first sexual encounter,... Read More

Making movies is a difficult process - from budgeting to casting, writing the screenplay, as well as scoring and special effects.
