Still
reeling from the death of her father, a young
girl spends one last summer at the Jersey
Shore before heading off to college. But
when her plans fall apart, the girl stumbles
into a mysterious world of Russian sailors,
high-stakes gambling, and unexpected love.
Drawn from the coming-of-age experiences of writer Gabrielle Berberich, 'Greetings
From The Shore' is part memoir, part fairytale. The film was shot on an island
off the coast of New Jersey, Barnegat Island, in the same seaside town where
the real events occurred to Berberich. Like the setting, each character is an
island. They are loners, dreamers brought together by fate for one chance summer.
An ensemble cast brings these vivid characters to life, including Paul Sorvino,
David Fumero, Jay O. Sanders, and Kim Shaw in a debut performance. The film is
an homage to coming-of-age classics like 'Dirty Dancing' and 'Mystic Pizza,'
while in its own right, 'Greetings From The Shore' is a unique and personal story.
It's a love letter in the sand, a tribute to the Jersey Shore, and a postcard
from summers past.
