Crave Blue, written by Sarah Loucks.

Crave Blue follows a group of West Texas women who dress up as mermaids to pay the bills. Conspiracy and desire collide when a man claims to see a real-life mythical creature in the local lake. As tourists pollute the town, three minimum-wage mermaids risk everything to uncover the secrets within the lake, and the secrets within each other. Crave Blue is a surreal exploration of environmentalism and the feminine mystique in the heart of West Texas.
