Candy Jar

(2018)Directed by Ben Shelton92 min · PG-13Comedy, Drama, Romance
“Two rivals have met their match”

At a high school where the debate team is the main event, Lona Skinner (Sami Gayle) and Bennett Russell (Jacob Latimore) are the two champions, and they disagree about nearly everything. Each has a plan to land a spot at a dream college, and Ben Shelton keeps the two of them in the same rooms, trading points and talking over each other. The only thing they share is the contest itself, and each other as the one opponent who matches them.
