Snorkeling

Snorkeling is an authentic coming-of-age film about love, addiction, and mental health. All of us - especially young people - fear loneliness and isolation. Teenagers Michael and Jameson explore these haunting subjects together. As their romance blossoms, a new hallucinogenic street drug called Snorkeling concocts a fantasy where the user feels invincible. They can interact with the world without fear or inhibition - a true out-of-body experience. When taking a drug this powerful, what are the possibilities - and the dangers? Through his trippy, colorful recreation of the euphoria and tragedy of drug dependency, director Emil Nava takes us on a unique journey of adolescent self-discovery.

Directed by Emil Nava, Snorkeling leans on a strong ensemble — Daniel Zolghadri, Kristine Froseth, Brian Ioakimedes — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2023.
