Director's Introduction
There is a particular quality of light that only exists in the hour before sunset in a coastal town off-season — when the tourist shops are shuttered and the boardwalk belongs to the wind. I grew up inside that light.
I want this film to feel like memory itself: imprecise, luminous, and aching. Not a story about grief, exactly, but about the way a place holds time — and what happens when you finally stand still long enough to listen.
Casting
Lucia is the center of gravity. The role demands someone who can carry an entire film with stillness — an actor whose face is a landscape in itself. We need quiet intensity, the kind of presence that makes silence feel full rather than empty.

Locations
We are looking for a small New England coastal town — the kind of place that empties out after Labor Day and fills with a particular melancholy light. The town itself is a character: shuttered storefronts, a small library with creaking floors, a pier that extends into gray water.
