“It’s a big day. Now go. Stop wasting time.” S&R has revealed an official trailer for an indie coming-of-age drama titled What We Find on the Road, marking the feature directorial debut of producer / filmmaker Chaysen Beacham. A summertime tale of self-discovery and the ties that bind us, the award-winning indie film opens in theaters this September. On his 18th birthday, TJ receives a key sent from his estranged ex-con father, unlocking an old ’68 convertible and a challenge to drive across America – in hopes of repairing his family. Supported by a band of loveable oddballs and held together by humor and grit, TJ discovers that sometimes the longest road is the fastest way to home. Written by Bill Haney and directed by Chaysen Beacham, What We Find on the Road stars Finn Haney, William Chris Sumpter, Katherine Laheen, Paul Guilfoyle, and Ross Partridge. The film has screened at 23 film festivals around the world with a few awards. Looks like a nice indie road movie with some terrific performances to boot. And a funky old car.
Here’s the official trailer (+ poster) for Chaysen Beacham’s What We Find on the Road, from YouTube:
On TJ’s (Finn Haney) 18th birthday, a stranger delivers to him a key from his father, last seen as he was hauled off to prison 8 years previously. With the key is the address for a proposed meeting – 3000 miles away and in two weeks, so TJ heads off in hopes of repairing his family. The key unlocks a timeworn 1968 convertible, with a coffin welded to its floor. With each decision that follows, TJ plunges deeper into the mysterious & beautiful landscapes we all navigate – on our own, with our tribe, through the shifting turns of the road ahead. What We Find on the Road, formerly known as Polara, is directed and produced by American producer / filmmaker Chaysen Beacham, making his feature directorial debut after producing a few other films previously. It’s written and produced by Bill Haney. This initially premiered at the 2024 Victoria Film Festival earlier this year. Scatena & Rosner Films (S&R) will debut Beacham’s What We Find on the Road in select US theaters starting September 20th, 2024 later this year. Interested in watching?
