Bright Lights

the long version

Eleven-year-old Sophie dreams of becoming a famous actress but her life is quite ordinary as she argues with her brothers and sisters, hangs out with her friends and aims for the lead in the school play. Then her mum hears that a film company is auditioning children as extras - Sophie auditions and lands one of the leading roles. She soon learns that there are difficulties to face in living a dream and she learns a lot - not least that nothing is more important than family and friends.
