Logline
Struggling to find a summer job in her hometown after graduating high school, Dani (18), lands herself a peculiar gig with a mismatch crew of characters, during an otherwise dead and miserably hot Florida summer. Shot in Naples, FL, Neapolitans is a short film that showcases the naivety of youth in the landscape of a charming old beach town slowly transforming into a more modernized and almost unrecognizable place. It is a coming of age story, the definition of a precious place, and the poignancy of inevitable change.
