'Beware of this Boot Camp… it’s not all it’s cracked up to be.

'Eleven-year-old Ami raced home from school to the orphanage. Today couldn’t possibly get any better. But then it did.

'A mysterious stranger from a charity awaits Ami’s arrival in the matron’s office and invites her to Boot Camp to compete for a place on a mission team. The mission… to provide emergency relief to a storm ravaged ski-town.

'But, when she faces a mean bully who threatens her chances, Ami realizes winning won't be easy. To win a spot on the mission team and help the struggling town, she must confront her fears head-on.

'Yet, just as success seems within reach, Ami stumbles upon a sinister secret hidden within the charity's walls that shakes her to the core. Now she’s faced with a tough decision. Ami must choose: quit for safety or embark on a dangerous undercover mission.

'The ski-town and its residents desperately need her help, and she must choose wisely as people's well-being hangs in the balance.

'In Framing Film, film studies experts Steven Allen and Laura Hubner draw on a selection of historically and culturally diverse texts to explore the intricate relationships between cinema and the visual arts. Broad in scope, the volume considers a range of visual arts media, including posters, paintings, photography, comic books, and production design. By examining these various forms of media, Allen and Hubner emphasize the ability of visual arts to frame the spectator’s experience of cinema. Among the films and artists considered in this thought-provoking interdisciplinary volume are selections from both the high- and low-brow aspects of culture.'
