Snack Shack

Two inseparable friends, A.J. and Moose, decide to run the poolside snack shack after their home-brewed beer venture fizzles out. They picture a simple summer gig and a way to prove they can pull off something grown up. Instead of slick schemes, they lean on hustle and humor, swapping recipes and late night shifts. When Brooke, a carefree lifeguard, sweeps into their day with a confident smile and sharp instincts, their plan feels both possible and risky. The trio fumbles through errands, misreads signals, and learns that real teamwork means more than easy money. They weather miscommunications and late hours, learning to read a room and trust each other's instincts. The film keeps the stakes light yet genuinely human, grounded.
