Portrait of a young woman with voluminous curly hair and a neutral expression.

by Tim Gordon

A teen living with her strong-willed mother must take her brother to a specialized facility. She strikes up an unlikely friendship with an eccentric activist at protests surrounding a landmark medical case in Suncoast.

Based on Chinnโ€™s life experience from the early 2000s, theย semi-autobiographicalย coming-of-age story is about a young woman dealing with her brother’s serious illness. Written and directed byย Laura Chinnย in her feature directorial debut, Suncoast starsย Laura Linney,ย Nico Parker,ย andย Woody Harrelson.
