THE USUAL ROUTE

Short film (2019). The Usual Route follows a young man trying to balance the various influences around him as he contemplates his greater ambitions in Southern West Virginia. The film explores themes of responsibility, choices, and consequences through the eyes of a young man entering adulthood in a small town. The Usual Route is based off selections from Steven Dunn’s novel, Potted Meat, a collection of short stories that deliver a poignant reflection on ideas of masculinity, loss of innocence, and the daily ups and downs of life in rural West Virginia.
