Mack retreats to her family's cabin after the tragic death of her sister, Natalie.

Unannounced, her childhood best friend, Alex, shows up to console her. Resentment and old memories flood the isolated house, as they grapple with their childhood selves versus who they've grown up to be. It doesn't help that Alex brought with her Dylan, Alex's new best friend.  

Good thing they have alcohol...

As I was approaching young womanhood, my mother told me that female friendships matter most. This terrified me, but left a lasting impression. I didn’t feel as though I was good at female friendships. I grew up with an older sister, an automatic best friend and confidant, which led me to feel as though I didn’t really need close friends - I was born with one. As I’ve gotten older, I’ve realized that I do love my female friendships most, but the interweaving of these relationships are utterly layered and complicated. Women are intricate creatures, and this longing for connection has left me with sustained melancholy.

-Olivia Blue (Actor, Writer, Producer)

Female friendships have always been the most influential aspect of my life. They've encouraged me to push my boundaries, believed in me to succeed when I thought it would be impossible, and opened my eyes to new ways of thinking.  I've learned that my friendships are the true compass of my life. I want to create Juniper in honor of the women that are each a piece of who I am today.

This movie is a labor of love. We have been lucky enough to have a majority of our team donate their time, and their creative talent. We do need to rent equipment, and pay some crucial members. We also want to fill their bellies and give them a safe trip to and from the forest!
