After battling a terminal illness, Ian decides to forgo treatment and head West in search of solitude and a beautiful place to spend his final moments. However, despite his best efforts to isolate himself, Ian becomes the center of a makeshift family of kind-hearted characters who help him in the redemptive process of letting go, opening his heart and finally reaching his undetermined destination. "Somewhere West" is a journey of forgiveness and friendship that travels 3000 miles across some of the most revelatory landscapes in the US including: Michigan's Upper Peninsula, The Badlands, Black Hills, Devils Tower, Yellowstone, Great Salt Lake and Bonneville Salt Flats. Shot in 30 consecutive days while traveling 4982 miles in an RV with a cast of 4 and crew of 5, "Somewhere West" is a triumph of filmmaking ingenuity and collaboration. The cast and crew slept wherever they parked, ate and rehearsed while driving, showered at campgrounds and did laundry on the rare occasion they stopped in a town for supplies. Shot chronologically, they lived the story of the film in real time, and the result is evident in the subtle and authentic performances, as well as the attention and innovation of the visual style in this unforgettable film.
