- Synopsis
- It’s 2003, and 13-year-old Rell “Goat” Anderson and her mom Jane are scheming and scrounging their way through another Penticton summer. Having illegally sublet the house they’re renting; they’re now holed up in an RV park bordering Skaha Lake. From this modest base of operations, Goat befriends an awkward outsider, skateboards, shoplifts, and talks a big game about becoming a world-class surfer. Helming her debut feature, Sponheimer conspires with cinematographer Joseph Schweers and composer Cayne McKenzie to transform the Okanagan Valley into a majestic, almost mythical backdrop for this tale of a young girl trying to slip the shackles of circumstance. Produced by Mike Johnston, skillfully subverting expectations at practically every turn, a story of grand ambitions draws its persuasive power from chance encounters, casual exchanges, and instances in which summer lethargy cedes to adolescent rebellion.
