The Long Dumb Road

Nat (Tony Revolori), a 19-year-old aspiring photographer, leaves his parents’ Austin, Texas nest, bids goodbye to his recent ex-girlfriend, and heads out on to the open highway heading towards Los Angeles. When his car breaks down, he meets, Richard (Jason Manzoukas), a drifter with mechanic skills who offers to fix his old minivan in exchange for a ride to a nearby bus station. Thus begins the road trip of a lifetime – a bar fight in Marfa, Texas with cowboys; a visit to Richard’s now-grown teenage love and her bratty daughter that doesn’t go well; a drunken night with two sisters: Rebecca (Taissa Farmiga) and Nina (Grace Gummer); and of course, as with any road trip, Nat and Richard get even with the guy who leaves them stranded with no car, money, or cell phone in the woods – all before Nat must start classes and move into his dorm.
