The Story
At the time that the story of Arcadia Bay began forming, Josh also began forming his obsession with the beauty and mystery of the Oregon Coast. He began "virtually touring" these locations via photo-sharing sites and knew that he had to get out there & experience it for myself. These locations are breath-taking and absolutely inspired some of the scenes for the film. As he was writing the story, he devoloped the idea of contrasting physical experiences and relationships, with our emerging digital ones. This film take a look at friendship, loneliness, and life in the context of the increasingly digital age that we live in.
