Anne at 13,000 FT
Directed by Kazik Radwanski
Anne is a mid-20s, single, daycare center worker, whose personal and work-based responsibilities begin to destabilize her. After an overwhelming skydiving trip on the occasion of her best friend Sara's bachelorette party, Anne begins to apply a care-free joyousness to the mundanity of her conservative job, the effects of which begin to spill into her personal life, testing the relationships of her friends and family. At Sara's wedding, Anne meets Matt, who takes to her offbeat, confrontational charms, but pushes the limits of what's acceptable when even the rules of intimacy seem punishing.
