Michael Afendakis Talks 'We Rise'
DREAM. CHALLENGE. ENDURE. HOPE. THRIVE.
"This is a story that's built around a high school mock trial tournament. And when I was first contacted to do the film, I was a little hesitant about the subject matter. I didn't know much about Mock Trial and how that would play in a film. But the moment I met these students at this high school, I knew I had to jump right in."
— Director Michael Afendakis
