OPENING NIGHT MOVIE:

PARACHUTE

Winner of  the Best First Feature Award at SXSW

Thu, Jun 8th, 7:30 PM @ Long Beach Island Foundation of the Arts & Sciences

PARACHUTE is the inspiring directorial debut of actress Brittany Snow, who is known for her playful performances in Pitch Perfect and Hairspray, brings to the screen an intimate dramatic account of two young people struggling with emotional challenges and finding comfort in each other’s strengths and deficiencies.

Inspired by a whirlwind true story of unconventional romance, Riley, played by Courtney Eaton (Mad Max Fury Road, Yellowjackets), is determined to overcome her issues with body image, food, and love, but soon falls for another addiction: her friend Ethan.

Eaton impresses in her highly nuanced role, which garnered her the "Best Performance Award" at SXSW. Her chemistry with co-lead Thomas Mann, with his quiet charisma, is exceptional and charges this film with both optimism and disappointment. It’s a winner!
