Practical Films made Quicksand, described as a “bromantic comedy about two friends perilously navigating life post-college,” in the fall of 2019, with much of the movie made in and around Traverse City. The film has since screened at a variety of film festivals in Michigan and beyond, including last summer’s Traverse City Film Festival.

Practical announced earlier in August that it had signed with a distributor to get Quicksand out into the world, including a release on Apple TV on September 19. September's series of Michigan theatrical screenings is a part of that distribution strategy. Practical is also currently raising funds to help bolster the distribution of the film.
