Short Term 12 Soundtrack

Short Term 12 is a 2013 American independent drama film written and directed by Destin Daniel Cretton based on Cretton's short film of the same name, produced in 2009. The film stars Brie Larson as Grace Howard, a young supervisor of a group home for troubled teenagers. The film was the first leading performance of Larson's career. Cretton based Short Term 12 on his own experience working in a group facility for teenagers. He first wrote and produced a short film based on the idea and later adapted it into a feature-length screenplay. While Larson and John Gallagher, Jr. won their roles after auditioning through Skype, most of the children featured in the film were cast through open casting calls. Filming took place over 20 days in Los Angeles, California in September 2012. Short Term 12 premiered on March 10, 2013 at the South by Southwest film festival and was released in theaters on August 23, 2013. Made on a budget of less than $1 million and given a limited release, the film brought in strong box office receipts, grossing over $2.3 million. The film was widely praised. Critics acclaimed its realism and intimacy, with particular attention drawn to Larson's performance and Cretton's screenplay and direction. Considered one of the best films of 2013, the film was amongst National Board of Review's Top 10 independent films of 2013 and won SXSW's Grand Jury and Audience Awards for a Narrative Feature, as well as earning three Independent Spirit Award nominations including Best Female Lead for Larson.
