Synopsis: A mysterious riddle pulls two city-dwelling activists into the wilderness to rescue one of their brothers from his obsessive hunt for a fabled family treasure. What they won’t admit, even to themselves, is that they too harbor a shred of hope that the treasure might be out there. As much a story about millenial ennui as it is an exploration of generational trauma, this is an intimate family drama is thread through a DB Cooper inspired treasure hunt. As our producer pitches it, “The Graduate meets The Goonies.”

Director's Statement

Produced safely during the midst of the pandemic in a 1930’s log cabin on the Appalachian Trail with an on-set cast/crew of six people and a self-financed $8,400 production budget, Here For Us is as barebones and DIY as it is ambitious. Shot by a first-time, female DP with a female and BIPOC, Queer led cast, it is a deeply personal project about family, both blood and chosen, made by a small family of friends. Our process and purpose were inextricably linked and we hope it shows.
