Overview
"Making Waves is a feature length dramatic comedy that explores family, failure, and mortality through the journey of two women who just want to see the sea. Inspired by Hurricane Floyd's impact on the North Carolina coast circa 1999, the plot follows Sam Pines as she drives her terminally ill grandmother Florence 700-miles to the beach, unaware a hurricane is directly in their path. Along the way they hit numerous roadblocks, both literally and metaphorically, that force them to address the flaws in their family dynamics, as well as their own personal failures within. Through two different points of view of two different generations, Making Waves looks at what it means to leave home for the first time, as well as coming back to a home that doesn't feel the way it once did, culminating in an emotional story that's ultimately about treating yourself and others with understanding and grace." -- Abstract
