Ask Me Anything is a 2014 American drama written and directed by Allison Burnett, based on his novel Undiscovered Gyrl. The film stars Britt Robertson, Justin Long, Martin Sheen, Christian Slater, Robert Patrick, and Max Carver.
Ask Me Anything had its world premiere at the Nashville Film Festival, before it was released on December 19, 2014, by Phase 4 Films theatrically and via video on demand and other online platforms. The film was released on DVD March 3, 2015.
Katie Kampenfelt, a beautiful, funny, free-spirited, lost soul decides to take a year off before attending college. She chronicles her romantic and sexual adventures in an anonymous blog, but as her fearless narrative eventually gives way, dark secrets from her past begin to emerge.
Gary Goldstein, of the Los Angeles Times, said: "The edgy coming-of-age tale Ask Me Anything begins with a snarky, bubble-gum vibe that gives way to something far deeper and more meaningful.” Adding that it ”masterfully immerses us into the life of a floundering teenager with often-stirring, unexpected results.” As for the film’s surprising, unique ending, he added "It's all beautifully paid off in the movie's haunting coda."
Ask Me Anything premiered at the Nashville Film Festival where it received a Best Actress award for Britt Robertson as well as the award for Best Music in a Feature Film.
In December 2015 Ask Me Anything ranked number one on Taste of Cinema's 30 Underappreciated 21st Century American Movies Worth Your Time.
The film was released to video on demand as well as other online platforms on December 19, 2014. The DVD was released March 3, 2015.
Director Allison Burnett held a contest asking for undiscovered female singers, age 21 and under, to submit songs for the soundtrack. Approximately one hundred songs were submitted, with fourteen showing up on the official soundtrack released to iTunes and other online distributors.
