WHERE THE ROAD RUNS OUT is the first ever movie to be filmed in Equatorial Guinea and has been lighting up the film festival circuit, and now it’s been announced that it’ll have its Los Angeles premiere at the Pan African Film Festival in 2015.
Starring Isaach De Bankole, Juliet Landau, Stelio Savante, and Sizo Motsoko, it’s directed by Rudolf Buitendach and made its world premiere at San Diego film festival earlier this year, taking the awards for Best Narrative Feature and U-T San Diego.
In the film, we follow Science lecturer George Mensa (played by Isaach De Bankolé of Casino Royale), who turns his back on the world of European academia when he inherits a field station in the middle of the African jungle. There, his views on friendship and romance are challenged upon meeting Corina (Juliet Landau of Ed Wood and Buffy), the mistress of the local orphanage, an old friend Martin (Stelio Savante of Eisenstein In Guanauato), and Jimmy (Sizo Motsoko), a naughty orphaned boy—to whom he introduces the joys of chocolate.
