The Van Life: Prepare to Break Down
The “van life” promises freedom from the daily grind, but is it just man-children running away from the real world? In this smart comedy, two feminist grad students — Georgie, a hyper-competent straight white anthropologist, and Nicole, a queer half-Iranian Muslim sociologist — infiltrate a group of obsessed VW vanagon-owners. They’re on a quest to complicate van life mythology, but they have to learn some hard truths about themselves along the way.
Think Thelma and Louise plus camper vans minus suicide.
Co-Written by Kelly Rafferty and Whitney Greer. Directed by Suzan Satterfield. Produced by Whitney Greer, Kelly Rafferty, Suzan Satterfield, and Alfie Turnshek.
