Radio Rebel is a 2012 teen drama television film based on a novel titled Shrinking Violet. The movie was directed by Peter Howitt, written by Erik Patterson & Jessica Scott. It stars Debby Ryan, Merritt Patterson, Adam DiMarco, Sarena Parmar and Nancy Robertson.
Tara Adams is a very shy eighteen-year-old senior at Lincoln Bay High School who dreads speaking to anyone in the school hallways or getting called on in class. But in the privacy of her bedroom, she rocks out as a podcast DJ named "Radio Rebel." Her alter ego gives inspirational messages to her fellow high school students and in turn they become her protégées. Except, for one student, mean-girl Stacy, who depises Radio Rebel for her extreme popularity. She also constantly taunts and insults Tara for her timid personality. Her stepfather, Rob (Martin Cummins), runs SLAM FM, Seattle’s hottest FM radio station. When he finds out that Tara is Radio Rebel while listening to one of her podcasts at the request of DJ Cami Q (Mercedes de la Zerda), he decides to let Tara fill in for the open DJ slot at SLAM FM.
Keeping her Radio Rebel alter ego a secret, Tara becomes an instant hit because her radio show encourages her classmates to be themselves. She has fun; on one occasion, she hosts a dance party during lunch at her high school where extremely stubborn, Principal Moreno (Nancy Robertson) who has banned her students from listening to Radio Rebel's podcast, due to her believing that she is causing nothing but trouble and anarchy to the school. However, the principal cannot order DJ Cami Q to leave the campus, since she parked her car on public property (the street) and has the necessary permit.
Angrily, Principal Moreno unreasonably decides to cancel the prom until Radio Rebel reveals her true self. Her fellow students become disillusioned with Radio Rebel and call in her radio show to say that she crushed their dreams. Scared that she disappointed her listeners, Tara and SLAM FM decide to throw the Lincoln Bay students a MORP (PROM spelled backwards). The students nominate and select Radio Rebel for MORP queen and Stacy, as she is extremely ambitious to be Prom Queen since she was little, as her mother was before her, which is why she is so mean to others. Despite the fact that Principal Moreno will expel her and finally gaining the confidence from her mother, Tara goes onstage to accept the honor and finally revealing that she is Radio Rebel, much to the shock and surprise of the students.
