Released theatrically in Los Angeles and the Pacific Northwest in September 2024, For When You Get Lost is a dark comedy that proves one can still come of age when middle-aged. Directed by Michelle Steffes (who produced Short Term 12) and written by Jennifer Sorenson (Orphan is the New Orange), the movie follows June Stevenson (played by Sorenson herself) as she drags her estranged sisters on a road trip to meet with their father and make peace with him before his death.
Justin Bell executive produced this film, which has been praised by critics and took home the Audience Award at the 2023 Austin Film Festival, the feature film Jury Prize and Audience Award at the 2024 Durango Film Festival, and more. The film will be released digitally in late 2024.
“Inspired by a road trip that took place in real life, For When You Get Lost also stars Elizabeth Alderfer (AP Bio, United States of Al), Aja Bair (Euphoria, Kenan), Brian Thomas Smith (The Big Bang Theory), Cat Hammons (Yellowstone), and Adam Chambers (B Positive). Full of gorgeous imagery of the Pacific Coast, the movie explores the beauty of both landmarks and craft breweries while investigating the root of one family’s dysfunction in a manner both humorous and heartfelt.”
“Very well-directed, deftly written, and engagingly acted, with an entertaining blend of humor and heart…”
