Feature Float With Robbie Amell as a Beach Bum to Film in Vancouver
The Canadian feature is adapted from Kate Marchant’s story that racked up over 25 million reads on Toronto’s digital storytelling app Wattpad.
Kate wrote such an incredibly touching and relatable love story. I hope the fans are as excited as I am to see these characters come to life — Robbie Amell in a statement.
The teen-romance centers on a Waverly, who after her parents’ messy divorce finds herself yanked from her comfortable life in Alaska to spend the summer in her aunt’s sunny beach town. Waverly quickly begins to clash with one of her new neighbors and the polar opposite of everything she represents: an arrogant, jaded beach bum named Blake (Robbie Amell). Things take a turn after Blake learns Waverly’s embarrassing secret — that she can’t swim — and her one-time nemesis, who’s the town lifeguard, offers to teach her.
Director: Sherren Lee.
Producers: Wattpad Studios, Collective Pictures.
