Your Own Road

Fresh out of film school, Brian is determined not to let the lack of opportunity in small-town Ohio keep him from his dreams. Despite his father's overbearing insistence that he find a "real job," Brian applies for every film production assistant job he can find in Los Angeles. When he finally lands an interview, he ropes in his nerdy best friend Dan, whose girlfriend just cheated on him, to come along for a bromantic road trip across the country. The buddy dynamic quickly turns into an awkward third wheel situation when Brian also invites his troubled high school crush. Somewhere between Kansas City and Las Vegas, Dan picks up a free-spirited hippie hitchhiker. Despite being in the same car, the four twenty-something's are all on vastly different paths – until Brian's grand ambitions are threatened, inspiring them to come together.
