Nice and Mean

Marina is mean. Sachi is nice. Marina is Barney's. Sachi is Burlington Coat Factory. It's bad enough they're forced to coexist in their middle-school's high-profile video elective - but now they're being forced to work together on the big semester project. Marina's objective? Out her wannabe BFF as a fashion victim to the entire middle school. Sachi's objective? Prove that she's not just the smiley class pencil-lender and broaden her classmates' cultural horizons. Work together in harmony? Yeah, that would be a "no." How can Sachi film something meaningful, and Marina, something fabulous, if they're yoked to each other?
