Summary

"Suncoast" had its world premiere at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival, where the film's lead star, Nico Parker, won the U.S. Dramatic Special Jury Award for Breakthrough Performance. Based on first-time feature Director/Writer Laura Chinn's own life, the film is a dramatic, humane, and, at times, funny experience that received positive reviews from critics for its performances from Parker, Laura Linney, and Woody Harrelson and is making audiences cry all over the world. Laura was kind enough to spend some time talking with us about her work on the film, which you can listen to below. Please be sure to check out the film, which is now available to stream on Hulu from Searchlight Pictures. Thank you, and enjoy! Check out more on NextBestPicture.com Please subscribe on...
