Princeton's in the Mix
In this darkly comedic and satirical film, a mother is obsessed with status. She is the kind of person who brags about her children with bumper stickers on her luxury branded SUV and drops the names of her children's schools oh-so-casually in conversation. When she finds an angle through which her son can gain an edge over other kids on the SAT, watch out. She will run her SUV right over anyone who stands between her and that Ivy League sticker.
Director Jonathan DiMaio serves up a troubling mix of chill and fun in this short film from California. Inspired by real world college admissions scandals, Princeton's in the Mix asks questions about elite education and the impact, particular on young students themselves, when some people become too obsessed with academic achievement.
