Movie shot in Penticton now streaming on the little screen

A feature film shot in Penticton is now streaming on Amazon Prime.

Drinkwater is a coming-of-age story about a dorky Penticton teen who chases after a popular girl, while also navigating a strange relationship with his father and a new friendship with the girl next door.

The movie stars Daniel Doheny as the teenager and Eric McCormack, of Will & Grace fame, as his father. It was produced by Penticton Vees owner Graham Fraser.
