Bayside Animal Rehabilitation & Wellness is one of only two dedicated pet rehab facilities in the state.

A graduate of Traverse City West High School, she grew up spending summers with her grandparents on the film’s namesake waters, where she set the movie’s background to explore the themes of wanderlust, nostalgia, and home."
