Sunny Days Ahead w/ Rabbit Hole, Home System, Intro To The Posse

20 August 2021 | 8:00 pm

$15.00

SUNNY DAYS AHEAD
Canada, 2021. Directed by Josh Loewen, Alex Sykes. 40 min. NR

It’s the end of highschool and best buds Walt and Pete are making a movie all about Walt’s life. It’s our pure joy, and pure fear of what the future could hold, through the eyes of a couple 12th graders with video cameras staring into their post graduation abyss. They explore a variety of genres from stop motion to western to try and figure out their futures. Also there’s a giraffe.

Filmmakers Alex Sykes and Josh Loewen, grew up in Niagara and continue to find inspiration in the forests and waters of the region. Niagara is an essential part of our work, it’s where we have grown as artists and we believe our work currently and in the future will always reflect that.

Sunny Days Ahead is presented in program with:
