Longshot (1999) was a teen movie, directed by Lou Pearlman, yet it was not shown in theaters; however, it was released as a video and DVD only available through the film's web site. Many pop artists, such as OTOWN, Britney Spears, and NSYNC, were featured as cameos in the film. This was due to Lou Pearlman's former affilliation with these and many other pop artists during the late 1990's and 2000. Recently, Longshot has been aired on a few television channels such as ABC Family.
