synopsis With the power of gesture and a minimum of words, a riveting character embarks on a doomed enterprise -- his responsibility for his father's inheritance is transformed into a search for elusive, otherworldly beauty. Sea Legs is a vivid, harrowing journey through the funk, vitality and downward spiraling world of Coney Island. director Craig Butta is a native New York artist who has been working in film and theater for most of his life. His short film Coney Island, USA, which he wrote, directed and starred in, premiered at SXSW in 2007, then traveled the country playing various film festivals and finally was acquired by PBS for their ReelNY series.

Most recently he appeared in a stage adaptation of Francis Ford Coppola's "The Conversation," with the legendarily brutal theater ensemble 29th street Rep. Sea Legs is Craig's first feature film.
