Ella Anderson, Ariel Martin, Daniella Taylor & More Discuss Suncoast's Club Scenes & Wild Parties

If you’re looking for a powerful and heartwarming movie, writer-director Laura Chinn’s semi-autobiographical debut feature, Suncoast, is one to check out. Starring Nico Parker (The Last of Us) and featuring Woody Harrelson and Laura Linney, this Sundance Film Festival premiere is a unique coming-of-age story Chinn based on her own experiences.

Suncoast is set in the early 2000s, when Doris (Parker) is on the precipice of young adulthood. At school, she is awkward and soft-spoken, and at home, Doris’ mother (Linney) is too preoccupied with her comatose brother’s health to really be present. While having to grasp the gravity of her brother’s situation and find a connection with her mother, Doris finds unexpected friendships with the kids at school and an activist (Harrelson) who comes into town for a controversial case.

During their conversation in Park City at the Collider interview studio sponsored by Film.io, Chinn and stars Amarr, Daniella Taylor, Ariel Martin, and Ella Anderson all sat down with Steve Weintraub to share the behind-the-scenes of their movie. They talk about club scenes, wild parties, sleepovers, and surviving a real-life hurricane during production. Chinn shares the similarities and which details were tweaked for the big screen, discusses the talent of Linney and Parker's "lightning in a bottle," and tons more.
