Written, directed and produced by Karen Lawler and Leah Smith, Beach-O is a rockin’ retro romp. This 16mm short film is an homage to the campy beach movies of the 1960s, set within a late 90s time capsule. This music-centric film, shot in 1998 and finished in 2025, features performances by DC and Boston indie rock legends The Make Up, Victory At Sea, and The Wicked Farleys. The film follows Greg and Lesley as they enjoy a summer’s day at the beach. After they befriend a group of local partiers, their day takes an unexpected turn when everyone gets hungry… Beach-O encourages viewers to rethink the undead.
