In the sweet and uncommonly authentic coming of age film Over/Under, a deep friendship between two girls evolves over four years.
Their Southern California families vacation each year in a New England beach community, and nine-year-old Violet (Emajean Bullock) and Stella (Anastasia Veronica Lee) have become the fastest of friends. Over/Under reminds us of the innocent intensity of childhood friendship when kids feel compelled to spend every minute fully engaged with a best friend.
As the years pass, the beach setting remains idyllic, but their bodies and interests evolve. Disappointments, jealousies, betrayals and the appeal of boys threaten the friendships. Can their profound bond survive?
In her debut, director and co-writer Sophia Silver has made a film without a single false moment. Female viewers will recognize every moment of heartfelt exuberance or anguish.
Over/Under was nominated for a Grand Special Prize at the Deauville Film Festival (a French film fest devoted to American film).
This is a film that will resonate strongly with women and girls. Over/Under is now available to stream.
