Go Back
Greetings From the Shore
Director: Greg Chwerchak (Q&A with filmmaker after screening)
Showing: May 29, 8-10pm, Crown Hall

Drawn from the coming-of-age experiences of writer Gabrielle Berberich, Greetings From The Shore is part memoir, part fairy tale. Still reeling from the death of her father, a young girl spends one last summer at the Jersey Shore before heading off to college. But when her plans fall apart, the girl stumbles into a mysterious world of Russian sailors, high-stakes gambling, and unexpected romance. An ensemble cast brings these vivid characters to life, including Paul Sorvino, David Fumero, Jay O. Sanders, Lars Arentz-Hansen, and Kim Shaw in a lovely debut performance (116 minutes).

Winner of 45 awards at over 70 film festivals, including Montreal, New Orleans, Fort Lauderdale, and Boston.
