The award-winning indie film, “For When You Get Lost” is set for a limited theatrical release. The film will begin rolling out in select theaters in the Pacific Northwest and California starting on September 5, 2024. The cast and filmmakers will be “hitting the road” to attend showings and participate in Q&As before the film arrives on digital platforms in October.
“For When You Get Lost” is an uplifting and emotionally charged comedy, inspired by a real road trip. June Stevenson (Jennifer Sorenson) drags her estranged sisters on a road trip up the Pacific Coast to make amends with their difficult father. Along the way, she distracts herself with picturesque landmarks, craft breweries, and picturesque men in craft breweries, but ultimately, she must face the fact that there’s more to her family’s fractures than she thought.
