The Short Histoy of the Long Road
The Short Story of the Long Road is an upcoming drama written and directed by Ani Simon-Kennedy (Days of Gray, Sleep Tight) and starring Sabrina Carpenter (The Hate U Give, Tall Girl), Steven Ogg (The Walking Dead, Westworld) and Danny Trejo (Desperado, Machete).
For teenage Nola (Sabrina Carpenter), home is the open road. Her self-reliant father (Steven Ogg) is her anchor in a life of transience. The pair criss-cross the United States in a lovingly refurbished RV, relishing their independence and making ends meet by doing odd jobs. A shocking rupture, though, casts Nola out on her own. She makes her way to Albuquerque, New Mexico, in search of a mother she never knew. When her motorhome unexpectedly breaks down, she forges a bond with an auto body shop owner (Danny Trejo), and senses the possibility of mooring her ship in this storm.
The Short History of the Long Road also stars Maggie Siff (Mad Men), Rusty Schwimmer (Days of Our Lives, The Belko Experiment) and Jean Effron (A Million Ways to Die in the West, Better Call Saul). It will be released On-Demand and Digital in 16th June.
