Mid-Life Crisis,
In a Minivan

A fed-up mother is forced to confront the truth about why she’s idealizing her past when she ends up on a midnight road trip with a troubled teenage girl headed down a path she knows all too well.

This is a story about what happens when a mid-life crisis and a coming-of-age crisis go on a road trip together and take the cruise control off their lives.

Project Timeline

Short Film Shoot

We shot the Short Film in and around Utah County during a 4-day stretch in May & June 2024.

Festival Submissions

We’ve started submitting to festivals, including Sundance, SXSW, Tribeca, and more.

Distribution Deal

After garnering interest at festivals, we’ll work to secure a distribution deal against which we can finance the Feature Film with debt and equity financing.

Feature Film Shoot

Having already filmed the Short, we’ll be more prepared and efficient when we shoot the Feature.

Release

Once completed, the Feature Film will be available to watch on your favorite streaming service, or maybe even in theaters!
