Schengen

A cursed American mysteriously begins waking up in a new European city every time he goes to sleep, putting his addictive and egotistical personality into question.

This movie was created entirely by three filmmakers, Matthew Brdlik, Marcus Aubin, & David Neylon while backpacking around the Schengen zone in May 2019.

Director Statement

Traveling is the antidote to ignorance. Some people have to learn this the hard way. To many, traveling the world could hardly be considered a curse, but with the wrong outlook on life even heaven on earth can feel like hell.
