Be on the lookout for an independent film called “The Art of Travel,” directed by Thomas Whelan, a well-made, shrewdly written comedy-drama about a young man who goes off to central America, in search of adventure, following a romantic disappointment — or rather, a romantic cataclysm. The film captures that travel feeling, especially that travel feeling of being young and broke and ready to go anywhere.
I know about the picture only because the screenwriter sent me a copy. It’s making the film festival circuit, in search of distribution, and let’s hope it gets it. I’ll keep you informed.
