On Saturday afternoon, April 24, the Carsey-Wolf Center at UC Santa Barbara welcomed director and screenwriter Catherine Hardwicke for its latest âScript to Screenâ event. Some may know Hardwicke best for directing the first âTwilightâ film, but vampires are not where her filmmaking began. Her first film, âThirteen
,â received critical acclaim as a heart-wrenching depiction of teenage life that still holds up nearly 20 years later.Â

Hardwicke joined UC Santa Barbaraâs Pollock Theater director Matthew Ryan, for a virtual discussion about the making of âThirteen,â a 2003 coming-of-age film lauded for its terrifyingly realistic depiction of issues faced by young teenage girls in Los Angeles.Â
