Welcome to the world of competitive acting. "Figures of Speech" is a feature-length documentary (narrated by Chris Pine) about a group of high school students from all over the country vie for glory in the little-known world of competitive acting, otherwise known as Speech or Forensics. At times brutally honest and wickedly funny, the movie brings to life the rush of live performance and the emotional roller-coaster of a quirky, earnest, coming-of-age story. Each team must grapple with their own challenges: parental pressure, academic stress, sexual identity, failure, success and falling in love. It will remind you what it feels like to be on the edge of adulthood, fighting to become whoever it is you're meant to be.
Narrated by Chris Pine
Produced by Artfire Films, Gravitas Ventures
