Fort

About This Movie

Fort (2021) is a curious little documentary that unfolds like a quiet summer day at the beach. Directed by Craig Hunter and Ryan Harman, it captures two boyfriends exploring the shores near New York City, creating makeshift shelters from whatever they can find—driftwood, sheets, rubber bands. The film has this almost meditative tone, focusing on the simplicity of their process, the ebb and flow of the ocean, and the relationship they build as they construct these forts. It's not so much about a narrative as it is about moments—fleeting, tender, and a little whimsical. The pacing is relaxed, allowing us to linger in their world and appreciate the tactile experience of their craft amidst the natural backdrop.
