Colin Clemens Movies
Colin Clemens obtained his calling card for stardom as one of a select few (alongside classmates
Hannah Bailey,
Megan Krizmanich, and
Jake Tusing) chosen to headline director
Nanette Burstein's critically well-received documentary
American Teen (2008). The film offers a sociological portrait of four middle American teenagers during their final year at Warsaw Community High School in Warsaw, IN. Onscreen,
Burstein emphasizes
Clemens's role as the local basketball star (albeit a sweet natured and non-conceited one) who must contend with the insistence of his Elvis impersonator dad that his only way "out" of the Midwestern community lies in a sports scholarship to a major college. Ultimately, after the film wrapped,
Clemens enrolled at Indiana Tech and then transferred to Manchester College in North Manchester, IN, where he earned a degree in marketing. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi

In this biting cinéma vérité, director Nanette Burstein follows a group of five Indiana high-school seniors as they navigate the social mazes of adolescence, prepare for graduation, and generally deal with the often surprising and strange situations that arise simply from being 17. Incorporating intimate footage, interviews, and animation, Burstein reveals all the gritty details about life as a teenager in Midwestern America, from drugs, alcohol, and depression to cliques, first love, and heartbreak. ~ Cammila Collar, Rovi
