A coming of age story set in contemporary Los Angeles following teenage outsider Sadie who, uninspired by the dull humiliating rituals of sorority initiation, is devoted to her photography.  Excluded from the school's social mainstream, she meets and befriends new girl and fellow social outcast Nico.  Part Mary Quant and part Edie Sedgewick, Nico is obsessed with mid '60s Mod culture and manages to be a style icon despite having Milroy's disease and walking with a cane.  The blossoming friendship between the girls introduces Sadie to entirely new experiences, pushing the young photographer far beyond her familiar suburban world.

With a storming soundtrack, a cast of exceptional new talent and an eye for style, We Are The Mods depicts high school friendships and female relationships without descending to coming-of-age movie cliché or appearing too knowing.  Instead, the film has an authentic and personal feel that enables a real empathy with the two young women.
