That Sucks

From independent entry.

Constrained by the boredom orchestrated by summer, two teenage girls might have found the solution to their apathy. Will they have the willpower to follow through?

I was inspired by my own boredom and turmoil that occurs annually in the summertime. I decided to create a film that celebrates the caliber of adventures that compiles an average teenager’s summer.

The Northwest Film Center recognizes and honors the Indigenous peoples of this region on whose ancestral lands the museum now stands. These include the Willamette Tumwater, Clackamas, Kathlemet, Molalla, Multnomah and Watlala Chinook Peoples and the Tualatin Kalapuya who today are part of the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde, and many other Native communities who made their homes along the Columbia River. We also want to recognize that Portland today is a community of many diverse Native peoples who continue to live and work here. We respectfully acknowledge and honor all Indigenous communities—past, present, future—and are grateful for their ongoing and vibrant presence.
