Anne at 13,000 FT

Anne hasn’t been the same since the jump. While skydiving for her best friend Sara’s bachelorette party, the 27-year-old felt focused, free, above it all. Back on the ground, the pressures of her daily life threaten to overwhelm her. Her coworkers at the daycare center are constantly questioning the way she connects with the children. At Sara’s wedding, she meets a nice guy named Matt, but she can’t help bringing him into ever-more-awkward social situations. As the stressful circumstances mount, Anne prepares for another jump.

An electrifying pairing of two of the brightest young stars in cinema in director Kazik Radwanski (TOWER) and rising talent Deragh Campbell, ANNE AT 13,000 FT reveals a director and performer in perfect synch. From a rip-roaring skydive to moments of quiet reverie, Radwanski captures Anne’s experience with an unflinching directness, a volatile mix of Dardenne brothers immediacy and Cassavetes naturalism. And yet even from this privileged vantage point, it’s impossible to predict what Anne will do next.

"A brief, bracing burst of microbudget indie filmmaking at its most powerful." —Jessica Kiang, Variety

"If there is justice in the Canadian film world... then Anne at 13,000 ft will be the film to launch both its director and star into the international stratosphere." —Barry Hertz, Globe and Mail
