Skip Day

Intimate glimpses of one very special day in the lives of high-school seniors from an industrial corner of the Florida Everglades: prom’s over, the future is uncertain, and the irresistible pull of the beach makes the long-time friends drive 60 miles to chill, pose and revel in the waves. Winner of the Illy Prize for best short film at Directors’ Fortnight, Cannes Film Festival. Directors and Producers: Ivete Lucas and Patrick Bresnan Producer: Maida Lynn Cinematographers: Patrick Bresnan and Joaquin del Paso Editor: Ivete Lucas Executive producers for the Guardian: Charlie Phillips and Lindsay Poulton
