SUMMER’S END tells the story of a young girl’s growing pains as she realizes that the forces of society are forcing her to conform and become less and less her own person.

A half-hour drama written, produced and directed by Beth Brickell, SUMMER’S END was made with grants from the American Film Institute’s Independent Filmmakers Program, the Arkansas Educational Television Network Foundation, the Walter E. & Vera Morris Foundation, the Louise Moss Montgomery Foundation, and Film Forum.

SUMMER’S END has had multiple national television broadcasts on Showtime, A&E, Nickelodeon and PBS in the United States, and in six foreign markets. The film has been widely distributed to schools and libraries. In addition, a U.S. government agency has disseminated a closed-caption version of the film to the hearing impaired.  The film has won 16 film festival and TV awards.
