COAST IS NOW STREAMING!
“[COAST] does a better job at capturing the restlessness, the risks and the thrills of being a teenager than most teen-targeted studio films ever hope, or probably aim, to.”
A touring rock band gets stuck in Santa Maria, California, and offers restless music lover Abby (Fatima Ptacek) a ticket out of her agricultural small town. Bound by her lifelong friends, single mom, and generations of tradition, Abby is now on the precipice of a life-altering decision.
Supported by a killer soundtrack and breakout performances, COAST is about finding your truth and letting the music take you home.
