Going Nowhere (2023)

Izzy’s making a movie. She casts her best friend, Diana, who enthusiastically prepares for the shoot. A struggling actress, she clings to the hope that this leading role will turn her career around. Izzy, Diana and a behind-the-scenes crew take a road trip from LA to Kentucky to shoot on a friend’s farm for free. They land in Kentucky and Matt, the shifty alpha-male producer, bullies people into signing release forms as they gather around a welcome campfire. ‘The Seed’, a feminist slash environmentalist magnum opus about a plant that saves the world starts shooting the next morning. Izzy’s contradictory and vague directions confuse the actors while her inept instructions irritate the DP, who is far too qualified for this gig. Felipe, who made his riches voicing a popular children’s show, is ‘The Seed’s’ main investor. His whimsy and poor set etiquette starts to unravel Izzy’s vision. Incompetence, paranoia and sexual frustration drive the crew to the brink of mutiny. Are they going to make it? Or are they all ‘Going Nowhere’?
