Return to Seattle

RETURN TO SEATTLE is a story about a man who returns home to live with his father after his mother passes away. He meets a woman who leads him to rediscover his hometown through nature. A romantic comedy shot throughout Seattle and the Pacific Northwest, including Mount Rainier National Park, Olympic National Park, and North Cascades National Park, RETURN TO SEATTLE is the debut feature film of writer and director Brock Mullins and an official selection of the 2018 Chelsea Film Festival in New York.

The inspiring landscape leads Robert to make one last attempt to resuscitate his nearly non-existent filmmaking career by attempting to pull off an independent feature film in Seattle. He convinces Kirina (Amy Danneker), an actress from his first short film many years back who is on the cusp of major stardom, to join the project. Robert’s film is put to the test when he must work with the star of his film, and manage his father’s tenuous condition, all while pursuing the new love of his life.

RETURN TO SEATTLE was filmed throughout Seattle and the Pacific Northwest, including Mount Rainier National Park, Olympic National Park, and North Cascades National Park.
