Director Statement

When I was in sixth grade, my father surprised my sister, mother and I with the idea of an outrageous and exciting adventure…a year-old road trip around the lower 48 states of America. Thus, my family and I became “full-timers”, in other words, full time RVers. Our nomadic lifestyle was filled with beautiful sites and incredible experiences, and we were very privileged to be able to take such a long trip, but the isolation and separation from children our age did ware on me, especially at the impressionable age of 12. I wanted to draw on this unique experience for a film, and invite an audience into the sometimes comedic, sometimes serious world of RV travel and the close and complicated relationship of a mother and son.
