Seattle premiere
Dec 10 - Dec 13, 2015
Anointed one of “Top 30 Most Influential People on the Internet” by Time, Tyler Oakley made his first web video as a college freshman in 2007, and since then his infectious enthusiasm for life and message of radical self love have earned him over seven million YouTube subscribers.

Inspired more by films like People on Sunday (1930) than Frankie and Annette, Beach Town is a rock and roll beach movie of the mind – a quiet, unabashedly atmospheric look at the lives of young people whose art is ineffably linked with their surroundings in a low-rent coastal community. Beach Town features an upbeat summertime soundtrack and was shot entirely in Seattle in glorious, Super 16 color film.
