Riis: The People's Beach

Overview

A hopeless romantic and their friends contrive a meet-cute at NYC’s queer beach, but chaos, dysphoria, and unexpected connections reshape their quest for love. Intercut with footage of the real community of beach-goers at Riis, the film is a love letter to “The People’s Beach.”
