chambers bay

This feature film, cowritten with and to be directed by E.C. Timmer, is currently in pre-production. Chambers Bay is a coming-of-age dramedy film about two orphaned sisters, both prodigy runners and fourteen years apart in age. Ava, our protagonist, is thrilled to coach her younger sister, Lily, in her first-ever high school cross country season. But as Lily expands her interests beyond the scope of cross country, Ava must reckon with how, after their parents died in a car accident, her own sense of achievement has been tied up in her sister’s success. Ava must reckon with the fact that her capacity to dream has been mangled, and that she must strive to reactivate her imagination of a full life: one of friendship and professional possibility and romance.
