Format: Coming-of-age, Feature, 90 Min., Ages 6+
Status: Ready-to-shoot book available
The story uses the dynamic world of wakeboarding and the special „summer vibe“ of the Baltic Sea as a setting for a classic „friend zone“ theme. The film offers a mix of sporty action, humorous teen moments, and the emotional question of whether best friends can become more.
„Baywatch meets When Harry Met Sally.“
Logline:
Ambitious student Jazz and her best friend Lukas spend a turbulent summer at a watersports resort on the Baltic Sea. When a world-class professional team takes over the resort, they must not only prove their athletic skills in a risky competition but also find the courage to admit their true feelings for each other.
Target audience
Teenagers, young adults („New Adults“), and fans of sports comedies and romantic coming-of-age stories.
Visual style
The film relies on light-flooded, bright summer images, which are introduced by dynamic drone shots of the Schleswig-Holstein landscape and the Kiel Fjord. During the wakeboarding scenes, the style switches to an energetic, music-driven montage with quick cuts and impressive stunts in the water. Warm, atmospheric scenes at dusk and by torchlight on the beach provide the emotional counterpoint.
Tone:
A turbulent teen comedy that combines adventure, wit, and romance. The film thrives on the witty banter of the clique and a positive, summery atmosphere, supported by a modern soundtrack.
