Interesting facts

Pogey Beach is a 2018 Canadian comedy film, directed by Jeremy Larter. Spun off from the web series Just Passing Through, whose characters were fans of an in-universe television series called Pogey Beach, the film depicts the world inside the show-within-a-show through a storyline centred on Bethany, a teenage girl who moves from Toronto to Tracadie, Prince Edward Island with her father Winslow, and becomes fascinated by the diverse personalities who hang out at the local beach.

Production

The film was funded in part by a Kickstarter campaign, and shot in 2016. However, the team ran out of money to finish the final edit, until receiving a production grant from the Atlantic office of Telefilm Canada in late 2017.

The film premiered at the Atlantic International Film Festival in 2018.
