Nursery UniversityDirector: Marc H. Simon, Matthew Makar Writer: Marc H. Simon Cast: N/A Distributor: Variance Films Country: US Theatrical Release Date: April 24, 2009 Synopsis: Set in New York City, this documentary takes an in-depth look into the oddly competitive world of New York City nursery school admissions. The film follows five families attempting to place their toddlers in prestigious Manhattan preschools with limited spaces and astronomical price tags- a process largely considered to be more competitive than that of getting accepted to an Ivy League university- while going behind the scenes with the experts that advise them, the school directors who struggle to determine which "applicants" to allow through their doors, and the critics that throw up their hands at the entire process. There are tears, breakdowns, and hysterics galore- and that's just from the parents. [Synopsis courtesy of Variance Films] Read More on indieWIRE:
