AT THE TOP OF THE PYRAMID is an upbeat, action packed drama-comedy filled with music and sports; dance and romance; friendship and family; set within the world of teenage angst and pathos. Described by some as BRING IT ON meets BLACK SWAN, it is a character film, destined to become an American teenage-ensemble film classic. Warm but exciting, AT THE TOP OF THE PYRAMID unfolds into an intense study of family, and the teenage social hierarchy, in that rare place, and unique time, experienced by all teenagers, and the adults who dare attempt to guide them. Although our point of entry is the world of high school cheer leading, AT THE TOP OF THE PYRAMID delves deeply into the psychological surrealism of the dreams, nightmares, fears and insecurities that haunt our champions, but dramatically climaxes as a story of the power of relationships, loyalty, love, and the resilience of the human spirit. Led by our heroine, JAMIE PARKER, we participate in her struggle to learn the true meaning of courage, trust, and friendship as she struggles to make it to the top of the pyramid. A spitfire of a girl, she has the spirit, spunk, and killer skills that take her to the top in cheer leading, but after suffering a mysterious and devastating fall, Jamie?s loss of confidence is so severe, that her family decides to move away. A year later her father is killed and Jamie and her mom are forced to move back. Upon her return to Centreville, USA, we meet Jamie and her group of friends, frienemies, and suitors. They take us on an urgent, summer's-at-end adventure, forming fresh alliances and discovering new loyalties; defining and testing their character sense of self, and life purpose. Can Jamie and the gang keep it together and make it to the top of their own individual pyramids? Although comparisons to other quirky films aimed at teenagers are warranted, AT THE TOP OF THE PYRAMID is a story wholly unique unto itself. The characters are brought richly to life and made real; They are familiar yet uncommon; Defiant but vulnerable; Refreshing, honest, authentic and completely self-contained. The willingness to accept their feelings, and their ability to confront the differences those feelings make, cause us to embrace their journeys, and is what makes AT THE TOP OF PYRAMID compelling and entertaining.
