WHERE THE ROAD RUNS OUT starts its theatrical run this weekend!

WHERE THE ROAD RUNS OUT (Isaach De Bankole, Juliet Landau, Stelio Savante, Sizo Motsoko) is the first feature to shoot in Equatorial Guinea, and was also shot on location in Durban and Rotterdam.

The multiple film festival award winner is a story about a Rotterdam-based respected scientist and lecturer (Isaach De Bankole) who has grown weary of the world of academia. The sudden death of an old friend who has been running a field research station in AFRICA gives him the incentive he needs to turn his back on his academia and return to his African roots. Arriving in Equatorial Guinea he finds the field station in a state of disrepair. Through a local boy Jimi, his jaded eyes are opened to the possibilities of life there. Jimi also introduces him to Corina (Juliet Landau) who runs the local orphanage and a tentative but heartfelt romance begins. With the unexpected arrival of George's old friend Martin (Stelio Savante), George discovers there are many obstacles on the road to redemption... and many more where the road runs out.

The film has already won awards at San Diego Film Festival (Best Narrative Feature), Sunscreen film Festival (Best Director & Lead Actor), IndieFest (Best Supporting Actor) and has also featured and been warmly received at the Pan African film festival, AFI Silver and Heartland film festivals.

The film was written by David Hughes, directed by Rudolf Buitendach, produced by Cotton Tree Productions and is represented by Fairway Film Alliance.
