Runners High

Feature Film SAG-AFTRA, Low Budget Film
Salt Lake City
Synopsis:

Storyline: Runners High centers on Fiona, a lifelong runner and the only bisexual member of her run club. Set over the course of a two- day, trail relay race in the mountains, Fiona arrives excited for a fun, challenging weekend with her magnetic, high-energy teammates who run hard and party harder. Fiona also hopes to rekindle romance with her closeted teammate, Elyse after they drunkenly made out six months earlier. However, those hopes begin to unravel when Fiona discovers that Elyse is now dating another teammate, Simon. Undeterred, Fiona plunges into an ill-advised pursuit, all while navigating toxic group dynamics, injury, and pervasive heteronormativity. As the race intensifies, Fiona is forced to question whether Elyse is right for her, and if this club is the place where she most belongs.
