Synopsis

Friendship, time loops, and the strange magic of growing up by the sea.

Written by Dominic Allen, SPRAY is a coastal adventure film about friendship, time loops, environmental courage and the strange magic of growing up by the sea.

When fourteen-year-old Jack moves from Torquay to the Northern Rivers with his mum, Kate, he expects to hate everything: the new town, the new waves, the missing surfboard and the fact that home is no longer home. But after meeting Zeke, a mysterious seventeen-year-old surfer living out of an old ice-cream van, Jack discovers that she is trapped reliving the same day through her grandfather's strange seawater-powered washing-machine time machine — and that he can choose to enter the loop with her.

Together, they uncover a toxic dumping operation poisoning the river, recruit a ragtag crew of local kids, and race against a collapsing time loop to save the water, expose the truth and help Zeke's eccentric grandfather finally complete the journey he has been waiting for.

Blending surf culture, comedy, mystery and heartfelt family drama, SPRAY is a funny, emotional and cinematic Australian adventure about finding your people, belonging somewhere new, and realising that the best way to honour the past is to protect the future.

Further details will be announced as the project develops.
