Filmmaker duo Travis Wood and Alex Mallis‘ strong feature debut, THE TRAVEL COMPANION, is set to open in select theaters in April and May, starting April 10th in NYC then expanding to other cities including Los Angeles, on April 25th.
Struggling documentarian Simon (Tristan Turner) relies on the unique perk of his roommate and best friend Bruce’s (Anthony Oberbeck) airline job: free flights as his travel companion, which he indulges in frequently to shoot footage for his films. When Beatrice (Naomi Asa), a charming fellow up-and-coming filmmaker, enters their lives and starts to date Bruce, Simon fears his one advantage in the harsh world of the film industry may disappear before his eyes. Increasingly obsessed and unable to adapt to the evolving dynamics of his friendship, his relentless fixation on his precious travel companion status causes a tension that builds to irreversible levels.
