Last Days is filmmaker Gus Van Sant's meditation on the inner turmoil that engulfs a brilliant, but troubled, musician in the final hours of his life. Michael Pitt stars as Blake, an introspective artist who is buckling under the weight of fame, professional obligations, and a mounting feeling of isolation. Last Days follows Blake through a handful of hours he spends in and near his wooded home, a fugitive from his own life. It is a period of random moments and fractured consciousness, fused by spontaneous bursts of rock & roll. Expanding on the elliptical style forged in his two previous films, Gerry and the Palme d'Or-winning Elephant, Van Sant layers images and sounds to articulate an emotional landscape, creating a dynamic work about a soul in transition. watch
HOW I GOT LOST is the heartbreaking yet hopeful story of Andrew (Aaron Stanford) and Jake (Jacob Fishel), two friends dealing with loss amidst events bigger than them.

So Andrew convinces him to ditch New York and hit the road, going nowhere. They commandeer a cab to Philadelphia, where they borrow Andrew s mom s station wagon. But when their car runs out of gas in the middle of Pennsylvania, Andrew reveals the real reason for the trip his father has died, and he doesn t think he can make it through the funeral alone. On the road and in watch
