SUMMARY:Cucalorus Film Festival Presents: "Capsized"
DESCRIPTION:Cucalorus Film Festival Presents: “Capsized”\nScreening at Thalian Hall on Friday\, November 20 at 7:00 PM\nFilmed right here in Wilmington\, NC\, this sharp indie drama follows the O’Briens after they lose their home to foreclosure. Naturally\, larger-than-life patriarch Ray turns the crisis into a spectacle. He packs his wife\, five kids\, and the family hamster onto a barely seaworthy boat\, aiming for a deep-sea fishing tournament with a grand prize big enough to solve everything. But as the stakes get real\, their carefully maintained family equilibrium shatters. Capsized explores the cost of living in one person’s gravity—and what happens when the orbit finally breaks.

Decades after their teen dreams faded\, X-Cetra reunites to reclaim the pure\, unselfconscious girlhood magic captured in their youth. Director Ayden Mayeri starred in Cucalorus 31 hit Honeyjoon.
