From the producer/director team that brought you “Thirteen” and the director of “Twilight” comes a documentary series following six daughter/mother pairs as they brave a year in the minefield of teenage life. Catherine Hardwicke, Groundswell Productions and a major cable network are teaming up for the first time ever on a groundbreaking new show currently casting in and around Los Angeles, New York, Portland and Dallas.

Seeking teenage girls aged 12-14 and their mothers who are dealing with increasing peer pressure, learning to accept changing bodies and mood swings, balancing school, social lives, and family time. Both women must have strong desire to be documented on camera for up to 8 months in this exciting, curiosity driven time.

We want to see it all – your authentic highs and lows. Show us the intricacies of your mother/daughter relationship and how your family and friends fit into it, too. The struggles. The successes. The glue that keeps you together or the pressures that tear you apart.
