If you, or someone you know, longs to get outdoors, smell some fresh air, have adventures your friends want to hear about, discover some unforgettable views but think that you just don't have it in you to make that looonnnggg or dangerous hike like you see on NatGeo, think again! You don't have to be an "outdoor warrior" to access areas that are some of the most cherished in the American West. Or, in your own state's backyard, per the movie's message. Your guide is a person just like you, Joe (the lovable Tom Huang), a M-F desk-jockey accountant in slump after his divorce.
This independently made film I screened at festival has what the tent-pole blockbusters don't, characters that feel, sound and look like real people that you'd want to hang out with. The story resonates with topics that need to be discussed more (like why it's important to protect and preserve our natural world and parks for all to enjoy) without being preachy.
Tom's work BFF, Amelia, the lively ying to his very reluctant yang (played by the effervescent Sara Amini) takes Tom under her wing by sparking his curiosity and compassion to "Find her," after a surprising plot twist. You feel yourself wanting to do the same for your own friends possibly stuck in life's rut. You root for Tom and Amelia to find their happy places and resolve what troubles them by getting out and getting some perspective - ultimately getting MORE out of the LIFE they have been given. This is a great movie to watch which will inspire you to explore your nearby world outside your (admit it - boring) routine. You and your friends won't be sorry you did!
