Somewhere West (2011)
Official trailer for, “Somewhere West” - a visually breathtaking road-film that explores the human spirit with emotional breadth and quiet subtlety.  Ian, a terminally ill young man, decides to forgo further treatment and heads out onto the road in search of solitude and a beautiful place to spend his final moments.  And yet, against his best efforts, Ian becomes the center of a makeshift family of troubled, but kind-hearted characters who help him in the redemptive process of letting go, opening his heart and finally reaching his undetermined destination.  "Somewhere West" is a tender journey of forgiveness and friendship that travels 3000 mile across some of the most revelatory landscapes in the US, including: Michigan's Upper Peninsula, The Badlands, Black Hills, Devils Tower, Yellowstone, and Utah's Salt Flats.
