American Teen is a 2008 American documentary film directed by Nanette Burstein,[2] and produced by 57th & Irving. It competed in the Documentary Competition at the 2008 Sundance Film Festival, where it received the Directing Award Documentary.[3] Following the Sundance Film Festival, the movie was picked up by Paramount Vantage and was released to general cinema July 25, 2008.[4]
Much of the movie was filmed at Warsaw Community High School in Warsaw, Indiana.
