From critically acclaimed writer and director Andrew Bowen, and based on true events, Along The Way: The Director’s Cut is a funny, haunting, and poignant cautionary tale about life and loss in the late 90s.
Told through the eyes of Trevor McCaffrey, an orphaned author, who begins to pen a memoir about life, growing up with his three best friends Warren, Christian, and Jocko. From their hilarious 1st meeting in 1983 to their last year together after graduating from community college, the film explores the fragility of life, deep bonds their friendship, and the events that shattered their lives, during the alcohol-fueled Summer of 1996.
A haunting portrait of American Youth in the late 90’s, ALONG THE WAY: DIRECTOR’S CUT offers an unflinchingly and authentic snapshot of life before the internet and social media. A time when kids raised themselves, friends were family, music was religion, and subject matters like ‘mental health’ and ‘substance abuse’ were things you just didn’t talk about.
Digitally remastered in 4K from its original 35mm negative and featuring a completely new 'edit' by writer/director Andrew Bowen - this love letter to Generation X, represents the definitive version of Bowen's award-winning feature debut.
OFFICIAL TRAILER
✰✰✰✰ AWESOME!
"Funny in several sequences, sad and touching in others,
and honest all the way through. Andrew Bowen (formerly of the underrated Mad TV) is stunningly strong as Jocko. He delivers easily one of the best ‘unknown’ performances I’ve seen in years.”
-Scott Weinberg, EFILMCRITIC.COM
GRIPPING and POWERFUL.
"Played with sound and fury by its young unknown ensemble of actors, and shot beautifully by its young unknown director (Bowen), who creates a mood that is raw and innocent, yet edgy and sublime. This movie has a halo around it and like its characters is bathed in a “circle of light”, a light which protects it from being fraudulent, ordinary and heartless. When you leave this movie, this movie does not leave you."
- J.T. Murphy, HOLLYWOODMATRIX
