People seem to think they don’t need a budget or decent writing as long as they cast kids as the main characters. 
This is the most common and irritating blunder I’ve witnessed, and as a fan of the mumbley indie drama, it really sucks that finding a good one is like a needle in a haystack.
If the leads are kids that can’t act, youve basically just told your audience you’d like to throw away 2 hrs of their life. 
Bad child acting is worse than bad adult acting, and then your shitty melodrama becomes basically torture.
If you then decide to throw james franco into the mix, well then im going to assume you loathe your audience.
