Plot

In the summer of 1947, a pretentious thirteen-year-old girl called "Miss" Lily Jane Bobbit is liked by two boys, who are best friends. Using the funniest vocabulary and the ever so heavy accent, she manages to win the attraction of the town's people, including the love of the two best friends. As the story continues, it must be decided as to whether or not the two boys will remain best friends, as only one of them can win Miss Bobbit's heart.

Production

The film was shot in Aurora, Lemont and Chicago, Illinois.

Critical reception

Children on Their Birthdays won the Platinum Award for Independent Theatrical Feature Films - Family/Children at WorldFest Houston.

gollark: It actually has a more complex spec than XML!
gollark: Did you know YAML has nine ways to do multiline strings?
gollark: Go is kind of like YAML with the whole "simple" thing - it kind of *looks* simple and easy, but it's a minefield of special cases and weirdness and problems and all the special cases make it more complex than something actually designed to be simple would be.
gollark: In cleaner and more typesafe ways.
gollark: You can use codegen to generate code for repetitive tasks of some sort if they don't need to generalize much or go outside your project, but it's much better to just... not have to do those repetitive tasks, or have the compiler/macros handle them.
