A dark comedy about a neurotic but driven 17-year-old Chinese-American violinist on a mission to get admitted to Harvard at any cost. After spotting a mistake in her application at the last minute, she embarks on a midnight rampage through her magnet high school, blackmailing a socially-awkward teenage hacker to deliver the perfect audition for the elusive Dean of Admissions before the deadline.

Jamie Ting is an award-winning comedy director and writer based in New York and Los Angeles. He was raised in Miami, Florida by his Chinese grandfather, whom he credits for his dry sense of humor and love of salad bars. While attending the University of Virginia’s business school, he realized that his favorite concentration was the one that required the most work and paid the least: advertising. After attending The Creative Circus in Atlanta, he started his career in the creative department of BBDO New York, writing and art directing commercials for AT&T, Gillette, Pepsi, and an M&Ms Superbowl commercial. He has earned over 100 million views and a silver Cannes Lion for his branded short films for Hellofo, and two Clios for his “Deadpool 2” promos. Since moving to LA, he’s developed scripted comedies with ABC Digital, Youtube Red, and Crackle.
