Summer Snapshot is a sun-kissed slice of life, capturing the carefree in-the-moment living between youth and adulthood. Shot in Super-8 film, Summer Snapshot experiments with the tropes of 1970s home movies to explore the blurry line of memory and actual event. This 10-minute documentary-like essay depicts a single carefree summer day spent with seven nameless friends at a mountain river, where they talk, skinny-dip, strum guitars, and make a campfire before leaving for home... evoking a warm, ephemeral mood, and inviting viewers to reflect upon their own golden memories.
