Cradled by the woods and water of Green Lake, Michigan, SUNFISH (& OTHER STORIES ON GREEN LAKE) unfolds over the course of a summer where the intertwined stories of locals and visitors linger at the edge of personal transformation.

Sierra Falconer’s assured directorial debut casts a steady, sun-dappled gaze on the interconnected summers of a fourteen year-old girl at her grandparents’ lake house, a young virtuoso at music camp, a listless bartender, and two sisters running a bed and breakfast; fleeting moments imbued with humanity and introspection. Like the birds and the trees quietly observing life around the lake, Falconer’s sensitivity as a director allows the characters to be studied in all their restlessness and yearning for connection.
