May 5, 2022May 9, 2022 Valerie Kalfrin Along for the Ride, Andie MacDowell, Belmont Cameli, Dermot Mulroney, Emma Pasarow, sofia alvarez

What is it about a summer beach romance? The young adult drama Along for the Ride hits some familiar beats but has a charming old-fashioned sweetness, like the fried dough or waffles and ice cream treats along the shore. Making her feature directing debut, writer Sofia Alvarez adapts best-selling author Sarah Dessen’s novel about a bright high school graduate during the summer before college. Along for the Ride is an enjoyable trip.

Whistler Film Festival wrapped another successful year and 2018, their 18th installment, proved to be as successful as previous years. WFF has long been a hub for female creatives and 2018 was no different. In addition to the films in this years’ EDA Awards competitions, and films featuring strong female leads, the festival was once again host to Variety’s 10 Screenwriters to Watch series which included no less than five female screenwriters.
