Starring in the film are Kristine Froseth (The Buccaneers), Daniel Zolghadri (Funny Pages), and Tim Johnson Jr. (Pacific Rim: Uprising).
The movie follows teenagers Michael and Jameson. As their romance blossoms, a new hallucinogenic street drug called Snorkeling concocts a fantasy where the user feels invincible: they can interact with the world without fear or inhibition, a true out-of-body experience, but the drug also comes with danger.
Snorkeling debuted at the Manchester Film Festival two years ago, winning Best Cinematography. Nava produced the film alongside Brian Kavanaugh-Jones (Insidious), Mark Gillespie (Vox Lux), David Ayer (Training Day), and Chris Ferguson (Child's Play).
David Ayer commented: 'Snorkeling perfectly captures a dreamy snapshot of life, love addiction and navigating our odd world. It's delicate and beautiful, Emil's vision is felt, not just seen.'
