Written and directed by USC film student Natalie Yerelekian, How It Should Be was the winner of Best Production Design at the 2025 All American High School Film Festival.
Yerelekian, who began writing the script while applying to film school, shared: “The idea of entering an industry that is so hard for women to break into made me think of all the women in the past who paved the way for us."
