Encyclopedic overview
Thirteen is a 2003 psychological coming-of-age teen drama film directed by Catherine Hardwicke, written by Hardwicke and Nikki Reed and starring Holly Hunter, Evan Rachel Wood and Reed with Jeremy Sisto, Brady Corbet, Deborah Kara Unger, Kip Pardue, Sarah Clarke, D. W. Moffett, Vanessa Hudgens (in her film acting debut), and Jenicka Carey in supporting roles. Loosely based on Nikki Reed's life at ages 13 to 14, the film's plot follows Tracy, a middle school student in Los Angeles, who begins dabbling in substance abuse, sex, and crime after becoming friends with the school's popular girl, Evie.
The screenplay for Thirteen was written over six days by Hardwicke and the then-14-year-old Reed; Hardwicke, a former production designer, marking her directorial debut, independently raised funds herself for the production.
