On The Line

On The Line is a home movie that follows filmmakers Jack Russell and Sam Scourfield on their search for “The Road Trip of a Lifetime” as they travel the world famous Pacific Coast Highway in a vintage 1970 Volkswagen Bus. Joined by good friend Leon and soundtracked by The Big Sur Light and Power Crusade, the film is an ode to friendship, fatherhood, adventure, and the timelessness of the American road trip.

"The Film Gods smiled down upon you with a beautiful atmosphere and a great showing. As I told your Dad, I too cruised around those roads in a very similar van just about 30 years ago... It was poignant how the film was dedicated to your Dad- which gave the stream of consciousness journey and cinema-verite style a freedom to do it's thing and undertake the road ahead without constraint, it's story unfolding mile after mile like pages turning in a book." - Brandon Hull
