"It's not
often that true family films with messages that can touch all ages are
created. Central to this script are incredibly well defined characters
that are authentic in every detail. It's an excellent vehicle to
introduce new faces and frankly, a new family into the American cinema
lexicon."

Raspberry
Magic is a coming-of-age story about an 11-year-old girl who believes
she must win the science fair in order to bring her father back after
he runs out on the family. She blames herself for her parents'
problems, and takes charge when her mother falls into a deep
depression.
Set behind the backdrop of a beautiful
Pacific Northwest forest, Monica's experiment uses touch therapy to
help raspberries grow faster. She asks, is it nature or nurture that
can truly help a being grow? Does it even matter? Through her ups and
downs with her family, she learns that it's a complex question, and the
answer isn't so simple.
