Pools - Director Samuel Hayes

POOLS dives into the chaotic life of Kennedy, a rebellious college student who has one day to get her life together or face expulsion. Rather than conform, she recruits a misfit crew for a spontaneous night of pool hopping through the lavish backyards of her college town. What starts as an adrenaline-fueled escape turns into something deeper as Kennedy confronts grief, identity, and the lingering impact of her father's death. It's messy, it's emotional, and it's the ride of her life. It’s funny, heartfelt, and full of energy. Director Sam Hayes talks with us about his walking a fine line between broad comedy and perceptive drama, as well as, recruiting a supremely talented ensemble of talented young actors, headed up by Odessa A'zion, Mason Gooding, Michael Vlamis, Ariel Winter, Tyler Alvarez and Francesca Noel.
