Emily is the root cause of two devastating tragedies very early in her life. She feels the weight of these accidents like a curse has been placed upon her. Her dad suggests she go to a Camp for troubled youth to ease her guilt; she can be a counsellor there. When Emily arrives, she is taken in by the other counselors, they accept her as she is and wrap her in a veil of peace & forgiveness. Emily stands at the forefront of a new kind of life, but there’s a voice out there in the woods she can’t quite seem to ignore. The voice is whispering, she’s telling Emily to go home.

“In writer-director Avalon Fast’s sophomore feature CAMP, letting go, self-forgiveness and rebirth come with the help of community, magic and sacrifice.” (Movieweb)

“Dabbling with witchcraft is a time-honored tradition for troubled teen girls, especially in horror movies. Writer-director Avalon Fast adds their own dreamy spin on the subgenre with her sophomore feature, CAMP, an achingly melancholy coming-of-age film that will strike a nerve for anyone who was once a girl lost in the dense and tangled forest of adolescence.” (Horror Press)

Director Avalon Fast will be live at the Rio to intro the film and for a post-screening Q&A!
