“Where the Road Meets the Sun” has been making the film festival rounds. Now the award-winning movie is looking to hit a theater near you. The film is a moving story about four men whose lives intersect for a brief time in the city of Los Angeles. Takashi (Will Yun Lee of “Hawaii Five O”), a Japanese hit man, wakes up from a four-year coma and moves to LA to escape mysterious traumatic memories. He strikes an unusual friendship with Blake (Eric Mabius of “Ugly Betty”), the hotel manager who still mourns the loss of his wife to an affair he ended up regretting.
Julio (Fernando Noriega), an illegal immigrant, works at an Indian restaurant to provide for his wife and kid back in Mexico. He befriends Guy (Luke Brandon Field), a young British backpacker whose tourist visa just expired and who lives off his estranged father’s ATM card while sleeping with any girl who crosses his path.
Where the Road Meets the Sun inter-cuts between the blossoming of these two friendships. Takashi attempts to help Blake break from his past, but in the process is forced to confront his own violent memories. Julio and Guy hustle for day-to-day survival and forge dreams of a better future, but after Julio steals Guy’s passport and sells it, not only is their friendship at stake but also their lives. What follows are the wild times and often gut-wrenching adventures of four men trying to survive both emotionally and physically.
