Find Me

So what!, they had to truck all this equipment to crazy place and make it work. Felt real natural to me. Great direction Tom Haung, and good cast. This film has inspired me to do those hikes. Thank you for making it.

If you, or someone you know, longs to get outdoors, smell some fresh air, have adventures your friends want to hear about, discover some unforgettable views but think that you just don't have it in you to make that looonnnggg or dangerous hike like you see on NatGeo, think again! You don't have to be an "outdoor warrior" to access areas that are some of the most cherished in the American West. Or, in your own state's backyard, per the movie's message. Your guide is a person just like you, Joe (the lovable Tom Huang), a M-F desk-jockey accountant in slump after his divorce.

This independently made film I screened at festival has what the tent-pole blockbusters don't, characters that feel, sound and look like real people that you'd want to hang out with. The story resonates with topics that need to be discussed more (like why it's important to protect and preserve our natural world and parks for all to enjoy) without being preachy.

Tom's work BFF, Amelia, the lively ying to his very reluctant yang (played by the effervescent Sara Amini) takes Tom under her wing by sparking his curiosity and compassion to "Find her," after a surprising plot twist. You feel yourself wanting to do the same for your own friends possibly stuck in life's rut. You root for Tom and Amelia to find their happy places and resolve what troubles them by getting out and getting some perspective - ultimately getting MORE out of the LIFE they have been given. This is a great movie to watch which will inspire you to explore your nearby world outside your (admit it - boring) routine. You and your friends won't be sorry you did!

I liked the idea and the main actors were pretty good. The scenery for the second half of the movie was lovely. Some of the minor actors acting was terrible, but luckily weren't on screen long. I didn't care for the score at all, but maybe that's a personal thing. Overall it's a nice flick with a good message.

For an independent film with a small principal cast, I was amazed to have enjoyed this. Like Joe, I've felt immense pressure to help loved ones or to survive in hectic office environments.

The scenery of the national parks and the character development were unparalleled. We see pure emotion but also.light hearted moments. This also had me reminisce about times I went camping and hiking, which were moments where I tried to figure out my life path and understand the world around me.

The soundtrack was hit or miss and the writing could have been a bit stronger, but I was on board with the movie's concept the entire time.

Inspiring film that makes me want to hit some trails and explore the beauty of planet earth. Sara Amini is outstanding in this! I had to look her up on here to see what else she has done. Great job! Tom Huang..not the best actor but I really appreciate him putting this film together. As an avid hiker I was really feeling the whole premise. I also really felt the scene where he's arguing with his ex in the car and he pulls over and says.."I think I'm finally ready to listen". It seemed like a really honest, genuine moment. The whole film is something to be proud of. Thank you.
