EPK - Days Together

Film Habit Presents
Written and Directed by Peter Monro
Starring Erin Anderson and Brian Soika
LOGLINE
A frustrated and lost young woman escapes the city
on a road trip to Seattle and lets a musician friend
hitch a ride.
SYNOPSIS
Alex is single and at a crossroads in her life as she
watches her close friends settle down, get married,
and have kids. A trail of numbing late night hook-ups
and useless advice leads her to Paul, a drummer ready
to leave Los Angeles for a simpler life. Eager to escape
the city for a while, Alex plans to drive up to Seattle to
visit her sister, and decides to let Paul hitch a ride. The
two new friends take on the road together, enjoying
each other’s company and affections until they realize
that they must both forge ahead on their own.
DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT
In the film, I wanted to capture a specific period in
a young person’s life without being heavy handed
or moralistic. I approached Alex’s story as more of
a scientific observer, without having a set ending or
conclusion. Rather than taking Alex through a series
of obstacles and having her come to some realization,
I wanted to establish a mood for her and follow her
on a journey. She feels unsatisfied and lost, but there
is still a lot of beauty around her. As a result, the film
is more impressionistic, colored with the images and
voices that I feel are very powerful and real, although
not always easy to understand.
