Publisher Summary

Meet Z Yang! She’s an aspiring filmmaker who finds her focus sharing her unique take on the world!And action! Z knows what she’s doing when it comes to making movies. She’s an expert at stop-motion video. In this first book about the aspiring filmmaker, Z has to make a whole new kind of movie–a documentary–and it’s harder than she thought. Z wants to wow the judges, but she’s not sure her ideas are good enough for a film festival. With the help of her friends, Z shoots a lot of footage, but something about it doesn’t feel right. Should she start over? As she tries to make a movie she can be proud of, Z discovers that to be a real filmmaker, she’ll first have to be her real self.
