American micro-cinema meets the European art film, The Lost Coast is a haunting look at sexuality, repression, and friendship. Mark, Jasper and Lily are high school friends, now in their early twenties, reuniting on Halloween to experience the otherworldly costumes and sexual charge of the public celebration in San Francisco's Castro District. Unsatisfied with the spectacle, the trio wanders the city in search of ecstasy, and Mark and Jasper are forced to confront their secret sexual history--a silent past that Mark, who is gay, never got over, and Jasper, who is straight, never acknowledged. Internationally critically acclaimed, The Lost Coast premiered in competition at the South by Southwest Film Festival, and won best feature film at NewFest: the New York Gay and Lesbian Film Festival.
