As the manager of Justin Bieber, Carly Rae Jepsen, Cody Simpson and The Wanted, Scooter Braun (best. name. ever.) is one of pop’s most powerful mover-and-shakers. Dude’s like the Tween Godfather. But he’s not just out to dominate the soundtrack of America’s youth -- he wants to help us shape a better future, too!

Start the countdown. On July 1st, exactly 1 month from now, student loan interest rates are going to double, costing some students an estimated $1,000 more a year. Now before we start preparing for the student loan zombie apocalypse, there is a good chance Congress will be able to keep the rates low (put down that bat, step away from the “break glass in case of emergency.” Okay? Okay). Luckily, there are also a few ways you can take matters into your own hands. Both Romney and Obama agree that this is an important issue, and if those two can agree, then we should probably listen up.

One NYU student is bringing a day in the life of this complicated, identity-shaping time to the screen ... with a little Kickstart from his friends ... and you.
