FILM SYNOPSIS:

Torrey Pines (2016)

Torrey Pines is a stop-motion animated feature film by director Clyde Petersen. Based on a true story, the film is a queer punk coming-of-age tale, taking place in Southern California in the early 1990's.

Raised by a schizophrenic single mother, Petersen's life story unfolds in a series of baffling and hallucinated events. With a mother fueled by hallucinations of political conspiracy and family dysfunction, twelve-year-old Petersen is taken on a cross-country adventure that will forever alter the family as they know it.

Visitors may park in Lot 12 free of charge during the screening. Parking in all other lots and at all other times will require a paid permit, which is availble via ParkMobile.
