The Jack Kent Cooke Foundation’s
Young Scholars Program
Don’t miss this tremendous opportunity for your 7th grade students:
Jack Kent Cooke Scholarship
It is safe to say you have NOT seen a film like this before. EEP! is based on a book with a familiar premise An unexpected central character appears whose mere presence inspires the people she meets to reflect on their own lives to find more happiness. The ethereal and acclaimed actress Kenadie Joudin-Bromley takes this movie to another place. By using what some could see as a physical obstacle (primordial dwarfism), this Canadian eight year old creates a character you will lovingly remember.
