Pogey Beach is a 2018 Canadian comedy film, directed by Jeremy Larter.[1] Spun off from the web series Just Passing Through, whose characters were fans of an in-universe television series called Pogey Beach,[2] the film depicts the world inside the show-within-a-show through a storyline centred on Bethany (Celia Owen), a teenage girl who moves from Toronto to Tracadie, Prince Edward Island with her father Winslow (Dennis Trainor), and becomes fascinated by the diverse personalities who hang out at the local beach.[3]

The film also stars Robbie Carruthers as Gary Gallant, the leader of the local beach gang who values his leisurely lifestyle and will do almost anything to avoid being sent to work at the local fish plant, and Ryan Cameron as his archrival Lyle MacDonald.[3]
