SUMMERTIME MOVIE TRAILER & POETRY BOOK
The official “Summertime” movie trailer is OUT! Thanks so much to Good Deed Entertainment for helping us bring our spoken word film to you all. “Summertime” is an American comedy-drama film directed by Carlos López Estrada, the director of Blindspotting, and features a day in the life of 25 young poets from Get Lit.
This is a big year for youth poetry, and we hope this inspires audiences to be creative and embrace the arts! Look out for our BTS series “The Road to Summertime” The 10-Episode Making of Summertime digital docuseries will also be premiering soon. Stay tuned to watch how the film was made before it comes out. Also, pre-order the upcoming book of poetry “Summertime: Odes To L.A.” partnered with the film- all proceeds from this book go to the youth poet authors!
