Thrasher Road + "Nashedonia": Road Trip Movies

  • The ArtsCenter 300 East Main Street Carrboro, NC, 27510 United States (map)

Soon after pregnant Chloe and her elderly dog, Thrasher, hit the road to escape the broken dreams of LA, they find themselves broken down and in need of rescuing. Chloe’s estranged father, Mac, is the only person available to help, and the three become reluctant traveling companions, stuck in a car with thousands of miles ahead of them. When Mac takes a disastrous detour in an impromptu attempt to find Chloe’s ex, the father and daughter’s attempt at reconciliation is put to the test. Thrasher Road is a beautifully filmed, emotionally resonant story of a father-daughter relationship set against the moving backdrop of America’s highways.

In the opening short film “Nashedonia,” an uncultured, but Esperanto-speaking, young man embarks on a journey to honor his late father by taking his bequeathed guitar to Nashville.
