@moviemakermag ’s annual list of the Top 50
Film Festivals Worth the Entry Fee, and has granted us a slot in their coveted International Narrative Competition.
The CIFF programming team called our film
“one of the best coming-of-age films in years,” and praised the talented team in front of and behind the camera: “Filled with terrific performances, including a star-making turn by Jake Holley, this stunning feature debut from writer-director Beniamin Howard eschews cliches, resulting in one of the best coming-of-age films in years.”

We are excited, and sad, to share this story. Killer Dana was a surf break that could hold any size swell, and lived in conversations alongside Trestles and Windansea. When the harbor was built to expunge the “surf-rats,” much of the iconic Southern California culture died with it.
