The To Do List is a comedy about close friends and a special summer project, loosely inspired by the real-life adventures of first-time writer/director Maggie Carey.
Set in 1993, valedictorian Brandy Klark wants to shed her uptight image before college, so she assembles a to do list of all the “activities” she missed out on in high school. Quickly realising that she’s way out of her depth, Brandy solicits her best friends, older sister and burnt-out boss for their help and advice.
If the group is going to complete the list by September they’ll need plenty of imagination and very open minds.
This movie opens on the big screen today.
