Waves

Carlisle College Film Student Selection

Set against the vibrant landscape of South Florida, and featuring an astonishing ensemble of award-winning actors and breakouts alike, Waves traces the epic emotional journey of a suburban African American family - led by a well-intentional but domineering father - as they navigate love, forgiveness and coming together in the aftermath of a loss.

From acclaimed director Trey Edward Shults, Waves is an audacious and heartrending story about the universal capacity for compassion and growth even in the darkest of times.

This stunningly visceral, stirring and profound drama rushes, peaks and rolls like its title suggests, sweeping the audience along for every single moment.
