When a father's sudden reappearance threatens to destroy his son's life, they must confront the irreconcilable divide between family and ideology as they navigate a deadly EXTREMIST group together

We're working on the cutting edge of filmmaking by blending scripted storytelling with candid coincidence, and intentionally blurring the lines between art imitating reality and reality imitating art.

You know when you see something real and authentic on screen. It just clicks. Films like Uncut Gems and TV shows documenting real people's lives are so compelling because most of the people on screen aren't trained actors. We're all characters in our own stories, and we're actively working to weave real people "playing" themselves into a beautifully shot narrative film.

A plywood set in LA isn’t always interesting, but real places are magic. We've already shot scenes in places like a privately-owned bar, a city playground and a buddy's old car. And we're still looking for places where real people work, live and spend time: especially big warehouses, dusty attics and living spaces that are actively lived in.

REAL STORIES

We're trying something new and shooting the movie before we're done writing it. This film is about a cross-country journey. We know where the characters start and end, we know what the journey is about-- but we're still interviewing people and writing their tales into the adventure to make it feel real and unique.
