Jodi (Ava Michelle) has always been the tallest girl in school — and she’s always been uncomfortable with it. After slouching her way through life for 16 years and being made fun of by classmates, Jodi meets Stig (Luke Eisner), a seemingly perfect Swedish foreign exchange student who’s even taller than she is. Jodi’s new crush turns her world upside down and throws her into a surprising love triangle, but with the help of her two best friends (Griffin Gluck, Anjelika Washington) as well as her beauty queen sister Harper (Sabrina Carpenter), Jodi comes to realize that she’s far more than her insecurities about her appearance have led her to believe. TALL GIRL, director Nzingha Stewart’s first feature film, is a heartfelt and hilarious coming-of-age story about finding the confidence to stop slouching and stand tall.
Stewart directed the Lifetime movies With This Ring, starring Regina Hall, Jill Scott, and Eve, as well as The 10th Date with Meagan Good. She also served as an exec producer for Tyler Perry’s 2010 film For Colored Girls, starring Janet Jackson, Thandie Newton, Whoopi Goldberg, Tessa Thompson, and Kerry Washington. She has also directed episodes of “Major Crimes,” “Good Girls” and almost all of Shonda Rhimes’ series from “Grey’s Anatomy” to its new spinoff “Station 19,”“Scandal,” “How To Get Away With Murder” and “For The People.”
