ComingSoon is excited to debut the Into the Spotlight trailer for Entertainment Squad’s coming-of-age musical. It will become available on demand and digitally on September 1 and stars Leigh-Allyn Baker, Karen Abercrombie, and Kate Larson.
“The film centers on a high-schooler who grew up writing music with her rockstar dad but always preferred to stay out of the limelight. When her best friend isn’t able to perform, she steps in as her substitute at their high school talent show,” says the synopsis. “For luck, she uses a vintage, glowing microphone that turns out to be enchanted. Her incredible performance goes viral and overnight she becomes a star. Discovering fame and losing herself along the way, it is only with the help of family and friends that she finds her way back to what truly matters.”

“At 15, I saw the world shutting down and my friends losing hope, so I wrote Into the Spotlight. From struggling with dyslexia as a younger child to creating a story to inspire my generation, it has been truly magical,” says teen creator and star Kate Larson. “Into the Spotlight has changed my life, and I know girls everywhere need this story about overcoming insecurity, friendship, love, empowerment, and staying true to who you were meant to be.”
Into the Spotlight was written by Larson and is directed by Lisa Arnold. Additional cast includes Kevin Sizemore, Victoria Jackson, Jeff Allen, Anthony Evans, and Raphael Ruggero. It is executive produced by Cakki and Brian Warren of Revive Productions.
“The capabilities of AI created uncertainty for a lot of us in the entertainment industry,” added Shaked Berenson, Entertainment Squad CEO. “Seeing a young audience embrace a film like Into the Spotlight, which was written by a 15-year-old, proves the irreplaceable power of an authentic voice. It’s truly inspiring.”
