The film chronicles the personal and professional price of fame and failure on a child. Those who know the industry best, including several successful child actors and two aspiring hopefuls, unpack their own complicated experiences as they reconcile the hardships they&#8217;ve faced and sacrifices they&#8217;ve made on their way to finding success in show business.<\/p><div id=\"morty-115192069\" class=\"morty-content morty-entity-placement\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-4937602850188786\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4937602850188786\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"5227734695\" \ndata-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\ndata-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<p>The film will be available on HBO and to stream on HBO Max.<\/p>\n<p>SHOWBIZ KIDS is written and directed by former child actor Alex Winter (&#8220;<em>Bill and Ted&#8217;s Excellent Adventure<\/em>,&#8221; &#8220;<em>Panama Papers<\/em>&#8220;), who relies on the perspectives of many of his peers to explore the complexities of growing up under the glare of Hollywood&#8217;s spotlight, refusing to shy away from the more difficult truths about the industry. Winter&#8217;s commitment to creating an honest representation of a complicated industry stems from his own childhood in show business, beginning as a child actor on Broadway at the age of ten.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is a story I&#8217;ve been wanting to tell for many years,&#8221; said Winter. &#8220;Having grown up in the business I&#8217;ve never seen the experiences of a child actor, from their early career through to the transition into adulthood, told from the perspective of those involved.

The young actors and their parents work tirelessly to break into the highly competitive business while struggling to balance the demands of auditioning, working and maintaining a healthy childhood with friends and family.<\/p>\n<p>Through film footage, behind the scenes clips, and rare audition tapes, SHOWBIZ KIDS offers a glimpse into life on set for these young professionals. The actors discuss the challenges of navigating the industry at such a young age and the lasting effect that the public&#8217;s gaze has on self-esteem and feelings of isolation. Many also speak to the complicated relationships they have with their parents, the pressures of balancing grueling work schedules with life beyond set, and the disturbing prevalence of abuse and exploitation in the industry.<\/p>\n<p>SHOWBIZ KIDS peels back Hollywood&#8217;s velvet curtain, shining a spotlight on the glamour and allure of working in the entertainment industry, while also affording a sobering window on the tolls that early success can take on young professionals.<\/p>\n<p>SHOWBIZ KIDS, an HBO Documentary Films presentation of a Ringer Films Production, is written and directed by Alex Winter; producers, Alex Winter, Glen Zipper; co-producers, Sean Fennessey, Noah Malale; co-producer, Devorah Devries; executive producer, Bill Simmons; Music by, Jeff Tweedy, Spencer Tweedy, Sammy Tweedy.
