The Waterdance
Sometimes, life happens by accident.
Directed by Neal Jimenez, Michael Steinberg
Produced by No Frills Film, The Samuel Goldwyn Company
A character-driven drama about three men learning to rebuild their lives after spinal injury, balancing dark struggle with humor and human connection.
Author Joel Garcia breaks his neck while hiking, and finds himself in a rehab center with Raymond, an exaggerating ladies man, and Bloss, a racist biker. Considerable tension builds as each character tries to deal with his new found handicap and the problems that go with it, especially Joel, whose lover Anna is having as difficult a time as he is.
