About the film: We wanted to make a road trip movie about the first time that you fell in Love. Our goal was to capture the confusion, splendor, terror and Joy of young love wrapped up in the Rock n’ Roll stylings of a classic American Romantic Adventure Road Trip. So Rupert wrote a fantastic script that could be made on a budget, we called in every favor known to man and over 18 days sweated it out in the California desert. Our cast and crew pulled off a heroic feat of Independent filmmaking. Now we need to finish strong what we started.
Current Status: Raising finishing funds via Indiegogo Campaign. Primarily for Sound Mix and sound.
