Quarter (The Movie)

“The important thing is you enjoy your life!” Chemical Soup has revealed the official trailer for Quarter, a coming-of-age indie film arriving in limited US theaters in November. Quarter is made by Kelsey Bascom & Arnon Manor, starring Kelsey Bascom as the woman at the center of this story. Quarter is a coming-of-age comedy-drama about Kelly, a young woman living with Type 1 Diabetes who, in the days leading up to her 25th birthday, navigates the highs & lows of her blood sugar and her personal life. Yes it’s a quarter-life-crisis film, which is a bit cringe, but there’s more to this story. Bascom wrote it from her own experiences as a young woman living with Type 1 Diabetes, with the intent of creating an intimate & very personal film, that also raises awareness for T1D, often misunderstood and certainly misrepresented in films. Also starring Ali Wentworth, Breckin Meyer, Raven-Symoné, Tati Gabrielle, Brooke Shields, Eric Roberts, Nick Creegan, Matty Cardarople, and Dot-Marie Jones. Also executive produced by Brooke Shields, who’s an advocate for diabetes awareness. A film about learning to overcome obstacles that are in your life.

All animated scenes were developed, designed, and animated by 62 students from the Sisler Create Post-High Animation Program who were mentored bi-weekly over that time span.

Most CREATE post-high animation students have worked closely with Arnon Manor (VP of Visual Effects at Sony) and writer Kelsey Bascom on creating all the animated scenes for Quarter under their mentorship. Arnon Manor produced Cops & Robbers, which included animation from CREATE students. Cops & Robbers was long-listed for an Academy Award and won a Peabody Award. Arnon Manor maintains a close relationship with the program and continues to involve students in his projects.

About Quarter:

Follows a girl in her 20s who must deal with the ups and downs of her personal life, while also struggling with the ups and downs of her blood sugar levels.
