Elaine Partnow, Lydia Muijen, Tigran Mutafyan, Rene Flohr, Jesse Pepe, Jim Pallett, Hiroshi Azuma, and Julia Butler in Slipaway (2017)
Neglected by her family, Fall, a high-spirited elder with kind intentions but extreme measures, encounters little companionship in this turbulent world. When she comes across Adam, a young and hopeless street musician selling his keyboard, she buys it on a whim under the pretense of wanting to learn piano. Suspicious and wary, Adam agrees to teach her and quickly finds himself trapped in a sailboat with one audacious lady.

    • Trivia
      On the second shooting day on open water, after all day scenes had been filmed, the engine starter of the Slipaway broke. Luckily, the wind was still moving, so the captains raised the sails. Yet half an hour later, even the wind died, and the entire cast and crew were stuck, drifting, four miles off the San Diego coast. Night approached quickly, no other vessels were in sight, many were getting sea sick and only one local tow boat was on duty but kept receiving the wrong coordinates. After four and a half hours, rescue finally arrived and towed the Slipaway back to shore. On the film's website (www.SlipawayMovie.com), you can find a video clip taken during the breakdown.

      Adam: It's a little cheesy, don't you think?

      Fall: Cheesy? Well, guess that means my whole life has been... cheesy.

    I have no idea what awards this film won but it couldn't have been for the acting.
