British Comedian Dave Gorman travels across America without supporting the 'Man'. In other words, no Holiday Inns, no Best Westerns and no Comfort Suites. No Shells, no Arcos and no BP gas stations. No MacDonalds, no Starbucks and no chains of any kind. Just Mom & Pop business all the way.
Writing
Gorman's obsessive rules create genuine narrative tension from nothing.
Production
Turns a travelogue into surprisingly high-stakes mission impossible.
Director
Andy Devonshire
