Suncatcher
Narrative Short | USA | 12 mins
Director by Parker Croft
For months Kira has been living out of her car in Venice, California. Facing a constant struggle to keep her head above water, Kira‘s world collapses when she returns home from work one evening to find her car stolen. Vulnerable and alone, Kira must navigate the harrowing uncertainty of a night on the streets.
Featuring the world-famous poetry of Jalal al-Din Rumi, as translated by Coleman Barks in its first cinematic adaptation, Suncatcher is a piercing exploration of mindfulness in the face of crisis. A haunting meditation that captures both the stunning beauty, and perilous isolation, of life on the fringes of Los Angeles’ coastal west side.
