Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Director Igor Goldin primarily works in regional theater; this was his first feature filmed across actual locations matching the journey.
The film quietly joins a micro-genre of 'walking America' indies (The Straight Story, The Way) but uniquely uses musical numbers to literalize how strangers become witnesses to our lives.
