Here's a description from their web page:

"Wrapped is a feature-length film to be shot this summer about overcoming insecurity. The film follows a wallflower of a girl, Abby, as she learns to stand up for herself by stealing back a birthday present from the drug dealer who robbed her. By the end of the story, Abby gains a positive self-esteem, and the drug dealer, Donny, leaves behind his poor life choices by learning to stop placing his self-worth in his friends’ opinions of him.

This project is written and (to be) directed by Calen Coates, a senior at Biola University. He has studied filmmaking for almost 10 years, but this will be his first feature film. Rachel Lin, a sophomore at Biola, is producing the project. The rest of the crew is to be made up of Biola Students, and the film will be shot for approximately $10,000. Though this may sound like a lot of money to some, it's actually a miniscule amount in comparison to most Hollywood films. Wrapped is built upon a DIY methodology, allowing it to be shot for far less than most films by using resources the student-team has within easy reach.

Everyone struggles with insecurities, and this film seeks to prove that anyone can conquer their demons. For our protagonist, Abby, this means learning to love herself. For the film crew, this means doing something many have tried and failed. We believe the same can be true for you too."
