When a ten-year-old boy with a hyperactive imagination refuses to believe his father is dead, he convinces his grieving mother to take him on a cruise vacation—secretly planning to use it as his mission to find his missing dad.

SYNOPSIS:

Reggie (10) is brilliant, determined, and heartbreakingly hopeful. He lives between reality and imagination, and has spent two years of secret planning based on misunderstood love. He's inherited his father's storytelling gift and whimsical logic.

Amy (late 30s/early 40s) is an exhausted single mother and former photographer. Her grief is hidden behind practical preparation. She promised this cruise to honor her husband's memory, and through the journey, she's rediscovering her ability to see beauty instead of just preserve it.

When Reggie discovers that his father's bedtime stories contain real clues to actual places throughout Northern New England and Maritime Canada—Bar Harbor, Halifax, and St. John's—he embarks on a secret treasure hunt during their family cruise. What starts as a child's quest becomes a journey of healing for both mother and son.

The film seamlessly blends reality with imagination through watercolor animation sequences that show the world through Reggie's eyes. As he follows the clues, both he and Amy learn that some treasures are worth searching for, while others are worth letting go.

Set against the stunning maritime landscapes of Canada's eastern coast, Still Sailing explores authentic grief processing without manipulation, the power of imagination to heal, and the understanding that love travels across any distance—even time.
