I grew up outside of Washington, DC in a place called Fairfax. After high school I went to film school and then moved to Los Angeles to pursue film. I worked there for nearly 4 years and even had a film deal with a production company. The truth was that I was miserable working at this production company and was depressed that I had no free time anymore. Two day weekends year in and year out with the occasional week off. Two weeks of vacation a year is ridiculous and I never want to have that again.
So eventually the film fell through and so did the job at the production company. After that I literally had nothing. Everything I built had vanished and honestly I felt afraid but more surprisingly excited. My last day at work I left and went straight to the airport and flew to Sydney, Australia. I was there for nearly 3 weeks and had an incredible time. When I came back to Los Angeles I thought long and hard and decided that I couldn't waste the remaining 5 years of my 20's doing this. I packed all my stuff in my car and decided to drive across country back home to figure things out. My friend Peter, who was going through the exact same thing, decided to join me on the drive.
This is where this cross country documentary comes into play...
