Fun Trailer for Canadian Coming of Age Comedy DRINKWATER

A new trailer has been released for the Canadian-set coming of age comedy Drinkwater, starring Daniel Doheny and Eric McCormack, as well as Louriza Tronco, Alex Zahara, Jordan Burtchett, and Naika Toussaint. The film premiered at a few Canadian film festivals last year, and won the 2021 Telus Audience Choice Award for Canadian Narrative at the Calgary Film Festival.

It was directed by Stephen S. Campanelli (Momentum, Indian Horse, Grand Isle), from a screenplay by Luke Fraser and Edward McDonald.

Here’s the full synopsis:

In small-town British Columbia, awkward teen Mike Drinkwater (Daniel Doheny) has trouble fitting in. Hank (Eric McCormack), his offbeat father, spends more time living in his own delusional world than paying attention to his son. Mike's lack of direction takes a turn when he meets the new girl, Wallace. Over Mike's final semester, Wallace helps him train for an annual cross-country race while Mike guides Wallace through an unfamiliar Canadian experience.

This looks like a fun movie about being a teen growing up in Canada. Check out the trailer below, and watch Drinkwater in Canadian cinemas starting on October 14th. We will let you know when a US release date becomes available.
