FilmRise Announces Awards Campaign for Chloë Grace Moretz in THE MISEDUCATION OF CAMERON POST

FilmRise Announces Awards Campaign for THE MISEDUCATION OF CAMERON POST star Chloë Grace Moretz. The film was the Grand Jury Prize at the 2018 Sundance Film Festival (U.S. Dramatic Competition). Watch the new trailer below!

Based on the celebrated novel by Emily M. Danforth, The Miseducation of Cameron Post follows the titular character (Chloë Grace Moretz) as she is sent to a gay conversion therapy center after getting caught having sex with the prom queen. Run by the strict Dr. Lydia Marsh (Jennifer Ehle) and her brother, Reverend Rick (John Gallagher Jr.) - himself an example of how those in the program can be "cured" - the center is populated by teens "struggling with same-sex attraction." In the face of outlandish discipline, dubious methods, and earnest Christian rock songs, Cameron forms an unlikely gay community, including the amputee stoner Jane (Sasha Lane) and the Lakota Two-Spirit, Adam (Forrest Goodluck). In creating a family on her own terms, she learns what it means to empower herself and have confidence in her identity.

Faye Tsakas, director of acquisitions at FilmRise told Variety, "Chloë deserves to be recognized for playing such a nuanced role and for her work championing the film and its mission."

For awards season, the studio will push for Chloë Grace Moretz in the lead actress category. It will also push for the film for best picture, screenplay, director, and for the work of cast members such as Jennifer Ehle and John Gallagher.
