Jessica Hester and Derek Schweickart (COAST)

from MovieMaker · host MovieMaker Magazine

In Coast, directed by Jessica Hester and Derek Schweickart, a teenage girl (Fatima Ptacek) sees a way out of her small Central Coast town when the singer in a band invites her out on the road. The film, inspired by screenwriter Cindy Kitagawa's teenage years in Santa Maria, Calif., explores all she would leave behind. With a great cast that includes Cristela Alonso, Melissa Leo and Ciara Bravo, Coast may give you hope about the future of live music. We also talk with Hester and Schweickart about how to get Joy Division songs in your movie, get the rights to a Kurt Vonnegut story for $5, and direct a film with someone you love. And they tell us how Bruce Dern helped get their movie rolling.You can learn more about Coast here. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
