Background

Inspired by true events, Best Enemies explores girl friendships and the teen girl world and why girls can be so mean to each other - especially when they're friends.

Best Enemies tells the story of a teenage girl whose world is thrown into chaos when overnight her best friend becomes her "best enemy", leading to terrible consequences.

It shows how a teenage girl's life can so easily be thrown into despair and depression, through the actions of her friends and class mates to bully and mass communicate cruel information using MSN, SMS and community network web sites.The film is supported by MySpace, Girlfriend Magazine, Hoyts, Mentos, and Point Zero Youth Services and has already been well received through screenings to schools and government.
