Welcome to the official website for Northern Lights Productions film "Little Women." This film was made entirely by homeschooled teens...we wrote, directed and produced the whole shebang all by ourselves. Adults were involved only as actors and support systems...oh yes, and caterers! ;)

This website is intended to give a bit more information about the project, what it was like to make a film without a budget or professional training, and how YOU can do the same with your own group of teens!

(Q&A from the Official Premiere)

What was your favorite thing about your charectar?
Probably her costumes...I loved the big poofy skirts. Definetely not her personality, she's a bit too uptight sometimes, she finds it hard to relax and have fun.

How old were you when the production began?
16

What was your favorite thing that you got to do on camera?
Running is always fun...the heart-to-heart discussion with Jo in our bedroom was cool....and I finally got to cry. YES! (Still no death scenes though...)

What was your favorite thing that you got to do off camera?
Direct, of course, and watch my script come to life.

What was your least favorite part of the production?
Managing everything. Costuming, directing and acting was a bit too much. Plus I got in an accident and was sick for a week because of the production....but hey, what can I say? "Pain is temporary, film is forever" to quote a fellow filmmaker.

What was something about being in the film that you did not expect when you signed on for the project?
Probably the length of time it took just to do our hair. We never had hair to deal with in our previous films because our casts were predominently male. My hair was especially difficult because it was so short. But even Josh's took forever!

What was your favorite line in the whole movie? (that anyone said)
I love just about anything that Amy says- and also Jo's line "That's just the problem, I killed the hero in the last chapter!"

What do you like to do when you're not filming?
Reading and writing historical fiction and fantasy, sewing and designing costumes, hanging out with friends, and watching good movies. (Oh, and did anyone mention Facebook???)


What other films/theatrical productions have you participated in?
Stage Door (University Stage Production), Miracle Worker (PreProfessional Theatre Productions), Capitol Crimes (NLP Film), The Fellowship of the Ring (NLP Film), Organized Chaos (Youth Ministry Theatre), Life on the Edge (Youth Ministry Theatre).
