Suncoast is written and directed by Laura Chinn, in what will be her directorial debut. The film is a dram inspired by Chinn's own life experience from the early 2000s and follows a teenager (Parker) living with her strong-willed mother (Linney), who must take her brother to live at a specialized facility. There, she strikes up an unlikely friendship with an eccentric activist (Harrelson) amid protests surrounding controversial medical cases.
