West Coast Premier of Swim Little Fish Swim

A favorite at this year’s SXSW Film Festival, Swim Little Fish Swim is a story of art, family, and the struggle to stay creative in a world that urges conformity.

Leeward and Mary are a couple living in New York City who are trying to keep it together, even with their differing viewpoints. Mary is a nurse with a steady (if not enough) income. She has dreams of moving to the suburbs and raising their young daughter in a more peaceful environ- ment. Meanwhile, Leeward is an artist who lets creativity take priority over everything including family. He believes that if he brings his talent into the world, it will manifest what they need. But Mary’s nerves are fraying. Stability is what she craves, while Leeward revels in his artistic dreams. Things take a turn with the arrival of Lilas 19 years old, pretty, and French, she’s an artist, too. Leeward sees her as a kindred spirit, while Mary senses her as a threat to their struggling union. A dramatic comedy set in the New York art scene, Swim Little Fish Swim expertly keeps its light tone even when asking deep questions about life and love.
