Dock5 Films is currently backing a project entitled Atlantic Avenue. Written and produced by recent graduates from UC Santa Barbara and directed by a recent graduate from Ithaca College, Atlantic Avenue is this team's first feature length project after producing 13 short films. The project follows themes of maturity, identity, and found family.

Spending the final weeks of his summer in shoretown Wildwood, New Jersey, Owen, a 13 year old boy inept at making friends, must confront his spiraling feelings of identity and his parents’ strained marriage when he meets 17 year old Danielle and her group of disorderly friends. Through new teenage experiences and unexpected romantic feelings, Owen must decide what type of person he wants to become as he wrestles with the illusive idea of maturity.

This crew has already shot over an hour of the film and is currently fundraising to finish principal photography in August of 2026. Please donate to support their completion of this project!

All donations over $250 are tax-deductible.
