The Long Dumb Road

Description

From creator-director Hannah Fidell (A Teacher, 6 Years) and co-creator Carson D. Mell (Silicon Valley, Tarantula) comes a comedy of transformation, discovery and maturity set on the road between Austin and Los Angeles. When college-bound teenager Nat (Tony Revolori) offers itinerant 30-something mechanic Richard (Jason Mantzoukas) a ride right through a stop-over in small-town Texas, neither one realizes the indelible affect each and every traveler will have on his respective journey. Nat, an aspiring photographer, is heading towards a bright future in art school in Los Angeles and wants to find the real The usa en route to new beginnings out West; Richard, a lovably unkempt motormouth, is simply in search of connection in the moment — and maybe a beer or ten — even as he grapples with indecision, past mistakes and dead-ends. As they shuttle through the American Southwest, taking in picturesque towns and crossing paths with an assortment of old flames, fellow travelers, kooky cons, and Good Samaritans, both passengers come alive through the myriad possibilities of the open road. Finding connection, comfort and chaos in their shared journey, this implausible and unforgettable screen duo forges an epic bond few will overlook.
