I thought paperboys went extinct, I am seriously loving this soundtrack. It brings up the hair on the back of your neck and really keeps the pace going. Music can make or break a film and you made a great choice.
EDIT FOR NEW VIEWERS (PLEASE READ): This film is getting a large amount of views so we wanted to clarify that this is a near zero-budget INDIE movie, not a major motion picture. We are basically just a small group of friends who wanted to go out and make a fun little movie, and we had a blast doing so. It's not perfect (far from it); we made many mistakes along the way and still have a LOT to learn as we improve on our craft. But it was a massive learning experience for all of us and we hope you can enjoy our early efforts as filmmakers. We don't want to disappoint anyone with false expectations, so please set your expectations accordingly. Thanks, and enjoy! ORIGINAL COMMENT: 200,000 views! Holy moly! When we uploaded this we only had 20 subscribers, and only expected around 100 views. I don't know how you all found our movie, but thank you so much for giving our little indie film a chance!
Probably no one will read this since comments are months old, but I have to say that I loved it!!! The music was perfect!!! And visually so many frames had such a perfect composition, like little individual works of art!!! I couldn't take my eyes off of it! It's been a long time since a film has had me spellbound like this. I hope I get to see a lot more from you. Thank you so much. Love and Light, Linda
Hi Linda! I appreciate your review! Especially with no plot descriptions that TH-cam is famous for. I always check comments before I even attempt to watch. My best to you!!!
Better than Netflix! I pay for Premium TH-cam instead of getting netflix. This is much better. There's so much variety and talent on here ❤ There's always something to watch 📺 🖥
I absolutely LOVE this little Indie gem! I get so very tired of the many distracting and discouraging agendas pushed in big Hollywood films, and this is much more than the occasional breath of fresh air with its interesting story, intriguing mystery, and true message of love and friendship, all topped off with surprisingly excellent acting. I was impressed with the authenticity of the whole package, and I would LOVE to see this kind of movie get real attention...give the public a real alternative to Hollywood. "A greater love hath no man than this; than to lay down his life for his friends..." or something like that. The compassion throughout was a beautiful thing, and it is good to be reminded sometimes of the tender side of humanity. There is so much more to life than building up material things. So much finer to value the lasting treasures of the temporal world. *Highly recommend!*
Haven’t watched it yet but for the fact that the crew has even stated that they made it with a group of friends and was mainly for fun, I give that a huge thumbs up. They stated that one should not expect it to be perfect cause they’re still learning and I’ll definitely watch it❤😊I love how real they are and not trying to sell us a fake idea of a perfect movie.
In my personal opinion, I found this production is remarkable, if compared to the big budget films....I am applauding for the writing of the story and chosen of location to be executed! All the team has remarkably put the whole story very well executed too! Applause and congrats for the good work!
I just found this treasure tonight at a time when I needed it the most! Gentlemen, please don't ever give up the dream of creating superb movies like this--the world needs your hopeful insight and all your skills and talents in this our darkest hours! I salute you all! BRAVO!!!!
Incredible movie. This came up for me out of the blue, and I was intrigued. Everything about this movie is just right; writing, plot, characters/actors, cinematography. Completely done from the heart, which cannot be duplicated in Hollywood these days. Not answering to producers, but to yourself. Just incredible. Thank you so much.
This gem found me on TH-cam - this film needs to be entered in a film festival or two. Great combination of suspense and the mysterious, mystical woods, the acting is decent, cinematography is well above average, and an original story with interesting twists. Will be viewing this one again!
I'm not one to usually comment, but this movie deserves an applause. I was glued to it from the moment it played, all the suspense, not knowing what will happen next. It was completely unpredictable, unlike movies we commonly come across. Great acting too! Keep it up, hope to see more. Thanks for making this!
Gotta pause and jump on to say that as a thoroughly devout fan of Stephen King, by 3:59 I had the strange sensation I had just read an entire King short story...cannot wait to watch further. Kudos to you all; this is very seriously impressive.
This is a masterpiece by itself...what a story,acting,direction...everything absolutely perfectly placed...its an award winning movie and must watch for everyone....Kudos to the entire team...expecting more from these genious.
At some point in our life, we all encounter darkness. It is something each of us has to face in our own time or own way. But whether it’s small or great, frightening or sad, whether i comes later in life or unfairly early, what matters...is how we deal with it. We may choose to ignore it or accept it. We may even choose to fight it to never give up!
Our school sent us two movies to review, but I chose to watch *Down the Road* and I’m so glad I did! Everything about this movie is amazing: the scenes, the characters, the videography everything was done so well. What really stood out for me was how it ended on a mystery note. I love mystery films because they keep you thinking long after the movie is over. Unlike regular endings, mysteries leave you imagining different possibilities and scenarios, and *Down the Road* does exactly that. It’s been on my mind ever since I finished it, and I can’t stop thinking of alternate endings and what could’ve happened. This was such a thought-provoking and engaging watch.
Love getting comments like this! It's really fun to hear our film is being watched in schools, and we're thrilled you connected with it the way you did. We had fun creating the open-ended mystery aspect, solving one story while keeping the other a mystery, and placing clues throughout the film for people to ponder on. So it's great to hear you enjoyed that. Thank you for the comment and thanks for watching!
After reading the comments this is the greatest film ever seen, phenomanal, inspriring, motivating, finesses, quality, must see, box office material, greatness at its best
This is a very good film. Towering trees create a tunnel shrouded in heavy fog enticing all to want to know what is beyond. I was captivated by the woods and what mystery they held. The music is beautiful and eerie. The poignant ending, wow. I couldn't yearn for a better film which drew me in from its opening to its ending.
If this was your first attempt at a movie, it is nearly a block buster! Some of the acting was a little stiff, don't shine a light into the camera, EVER, but I was glued to this all the way to the credits! Bravo!
Oh good I couldn't stop watching it. It was so suspenseful and so non predictable. And the message was so good at the end that I copied it down and sent it to somebody who needed to hear that that particular day. And the last line how you tied it into the title absolutely gave me chills and just did again while I was talking about it. Kudos timesca million!!
I watched this a couple of months ago but didn't recognize it until the first 15 minutes or so but it was so good I decided to watch it again this morning. The was a great movie that you should be very proud of. I don't watch movies a second time so for me to watch it again I had to have really liked the movie. Congratulations on a first endeavor & I'll be watching for more from you. THANKS!
Thank you so much for the comment! That's a huge compliment to hear you enjoyed watching the film a second time! I can't tell you how happy that makes us. We look forward to posting more projects in 2024.
Excellent! You have a future in the business - keep making movies! I especially loved the music - so appropriate to the action. Glad you're getting great comments - definitely deserves film festival exposure.
Wow, I really was not expecting such a great film. Very impressed and I sincerely hope you end up winning an award for your superb talent. Many awards! You’ve got it ✌️
Great job! As an industry insider, you really told a new and interesting story with what you had, and it reminds everyone that story and doing the best visual storytelling your equipment will allow is more important than special effects, top-tier editing, expensive equipment, and everything else that goes with a big budget. In the end, it is always all about the story we're trying to tell. Really enjoyed this.
Really good movie for just being a group of friends' project. It's held my attention all the way which is more than can be said for the majority of big budget movies. Great stuff and I would be interested if you make any more!
I enjoyed the movie very much. The movie has a great original story line utilizing creative imaginations. Yes, I agree with the content director, that the movie could have used some tweaking to speed up a few areas of the story line. There are fantastic promising talented people who wrote and produced this movie. Keep up your hard work and dedication detailing and learning with each new project. I look forward to seeing more movies that you create.
I truly enjoyed this film . I was drawn in from the very beginning. It is better than a lot of the big name movies that are out at theaters 5 ⭐ ! Keep up the great work !
This was a great movie. Beautifully done. You guys deserve a future in film making. This is better than anything put out by Hollywood today. Stay true to yourselves.
Wonderful! I love independent films and the story line keeps one engaged. the music was perfect and added to the forward movement of the story. Great job and hope to see more!🥰🥰🥰
Billy; you are so amazing. Your desire to keep things as original as possible is so sweet. The statues can always be used in the gardens too right? So good to see you today. God Bless.
This film is brilliant! I'm so glad it came up on my suggestions feed. It's one of the best independent films I've ever seen. And it's message of hope, even with life's ups and downs, its inevitable changes, is so well delivered without so much as a hint of corniness. Amazing!
Excellent mysterious film filled with edgy twists and turns. I was captured from beginning to end. Really am looking to another gem. BRAVO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just found this and took a chance. Not disappointed at all. It held my interest all the way through and had wonderfully surprising endings. Keep up the good work.
This appeared in my recommended so I thought I would give it a watch. Really great film that keeps you guessing and wondering and I loved the soundtrack. You all did a really awesome job considering you said you hardly had any budget and made the film for fun with friends. New sub from me and shared with my sister who is also watching it now too. I look forward to the next film. Much love from England UK 🥰
A good first attempt at the storyline! I’m impressed that this was done by a bunch of teenagers. The cinematography, however, was scintillating. It held me throughout the whole movie.
I m just me. Not in the business... So I watched this once b4. I watched it again just now.. I loved it.. lots o f tension.. gives a person's brain, those lil rushes... Expect to c Danny's name a lot in the future... Most likely all of u... Thank u
You can never really see and know the light till you've peered into the dark. Into the unknown. We tend to fear that which we don't know. Good job on your film. Tense, edge of the seat style. The ending was totally unexpected. It's all the better when it's a surprise and not what was expected.
The movie was very well done. I thought it was better than some of the big budget movies. I very much liked the music. It went well with the scenes. Good luck with any future endeavors.
Love this so much! Kept me guessing and kept me in my seat. You all have it going on! Keep making more. Your stuff is worth me watching. I will be waiting to see more of your work!
excellent! love that it was a guy cast. no hyperventilating, screaming girls! no cussing or filth, and the photography was phenomenal! just enough eerieness to keep me captivated! your hearts are known by the quality you produce! WOW! keep up the good work! (there are people watching who enjoy a clean, decent movie and I commend you for giving us this)!👍😁
It moved slowly but suspenseful. The choice of music built my curiosity to a fragile balance on the edge of a new discovery, a clue, a surprisind revelation, coaxing me on to the next rush of adrenaline! With the great cinematography and choreographed scenes I felt like I was the one running from the cloaked figure with my heart pounding! This is exactly what two teens would do to find their lost friend and not give up! Good mystery movie without the gore!! 👍🏻
Makes my imagination wander ... I thought something other worldly was in the woods and whatever is lost in there, it keeps but if people on this side keep looking with the intent to find, it releases. The key message I got was society should not ignore or accept people simply listed as 'missing persons' but keep looking to find these real people taken from us. Many are fortunate they have someone who insist on looking but many do not and the case goes cold.
You guys did an awesome job.The detective/dad was especially great.I give you all my encouragement to continue making films and entertaining the world.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏼
This indie film starts off slow, but there's a plot twist about 3/4 way through that I didn't see coming, and I'm an author, so I can usually guess and am right. All together there are three plot twist which are great. Making this a true original film. You guy's will go far. Keep it up.
Guys, considering this was your first feature film, for what it's worth, you got a lot right. The soundtrack enhanced the dramatic moments perfectly, & sure, there were times when the acting wasn't the best, but there are studio films where the acting is far worse. The stunts were pretty good, especially the fall down the hill. I'd say you should hold your head high for this effort, & given a few acting lessons you have a promising career ahead of you my friend. So, for your first feature film you get an 8/10 from me, & a big ❤😘. Kind regards......Urban Geeze.
Please make another!! I struggle to sit through movies for too long but i actually managed to watch this from start to end! Actually really enjoyed it!
Just absolutely love your film! You all did an excellent job! Great plot and it was suspenseful, it just kept me glued to the screen to see what would happen next! The ending was so perfect! This film should get an award! Keep up the great work!
Not at all bad, you guys! Camera work was good, story was engaging, and acting was pretty good. Dug the Hatman thing keeping the mystery going until the end. I would totally squat that old house in those gorgeous woods, lol.
In response to the person who asked about KEVIN not eating or remembering all the missing days….this movie is the perfect setting of a “ time slip” or “ glitch in the matrix” there are tons of real stories on READIT of people who have missing time….very interesting reads for anyone who is interested!
Outstanding!!! Gentleman, I'll be 58 years old next month and have to compliment you on your first movie release. This was amazing! You should all be very, very proud of your work! ❤ I don't know the location you shot your movie on, but I will say this; the opening into those woods immediately brought The Dark Hedges that line Bregagh Road in Northern Ireland. What a beautiful location!!! Don't ever let anyone quell your creativity or imaginations. The story kept me engaged from start to finish. That kind of writing has become scarce. These are all things we haven't seen come out of Hollywood on the big screen for 20 + years. Stay the course gentleman. I hope to see a lot more from you going forward. I agree you need to enter this in a film festival. You really should. ❤ Well done gentleman. Very well done indeed!!! ❤ I am curious as I did not see it in the credits; who portrayed Kevin? ~APRIL LIPKE
Thank you for the kind words! We mostly filmed the woods scenes in places along the Oregon coast, and in some small woodsy locations on the outskirts of Los Angeles. However, the main entrance to the woods (the image we have as the thumbnail/poster for the film and its tunnel of trees) was actually a visual effect, a composite from a variety of photos we took in various forests. The Dark Hedges was actually one of the inspirations for us in designing that image. Though I would love to someday actually film in Ireland! In terms of the actor who played Kevin… There are actually several roles that are uncredited, due to the fact many of us played more than one role in the film. For Kevin specifically, that’s me (the director). Since I also play Chris I opted to only list myself as Chris, since I didn’t want to credit myself too many times in the credits. 😁 We’re so happy to hear you enjoyed the film! Thank you for watching!
@@RickairProductions Very good!!! I thought you were Chris and Kevin! Keep up that quality of work! My husband also watched and was really impressed! As was a very close, dear friend of mine I text the link to. He really loved the movie! I'm sincerely looking forward to the next one!!!❤ ~ APRIL LIPKE
Great movie! I never comment on movies, but felt like I needed to express my gratitude. You guys put out a captivating suspense movie that I thoroughly enjoyed. Thank you. I am looking forward to more of the same.
Ha! I was excited to see the “Bear Mountain Ski Resort picture on the wall. I grew up in Big Bear and have skied those slopes more times than I can count. Great movie! Keep up the good work guys!
Thank you! Love that you noticed that detail, haha! We love the resort too and already had the poster from past trips. We asked Bear Mountain if we could feature it in our film and they were more than happy to let us. They even sent us some extra stickers to go along with it. Great place!
Just watched the movie and I can't believe how good it was! I thought everything about the movie was great! Finally a movie where it surprised me-intense-scary-mysterious-and I loved it!
Have to say Erik Margolin this was a pretty terrific movie. Well written, well-photographed and the characters were spot-on. Danny and Charlie's friendship was perfect. Storyline was really good. Thanks for all your effort, sweat and tears. Hope you have more exciting films in the future. (I live in Alki Peninsula, Seattle so scenery was epic) Congratulations and pray for more success for you.
I've been to Washington a couple of times and I'm in love with Mount Rainier. It's funny how now since I've been there anytime I see anything filmed in Washington I can always recognize it immediately.... there's just something about Washington that looks like nothing else.
I thought paperboys went extinct, I am seriously loving this soundtrack. It brings up the hair on the back of your neck and really keeps the pace going. Music can make or break a film and you made a great choice.

Just found this and took a chance. Not disappointed at all. It held my interest all the way through and had wonderfully surprising endings. Keep up the good work.
Pretty good, with a few minor problems which I won't go into because I don't want to spoil the video for others. Go for it.
This was a very well done project. I enjoyed it. Thank you all for your works.
This appeared in my recommended so I thought I would give it a watch. Really great film that keeps you guessing and wondering and I loved the soundtrack. You all did a really awesome job considering you said you hardly had any budget and made the film for fun with friends. New sub from me and shared with my sister who is also watching it now too. I look forward to the next film. Much love from England UK 🥰
Thank you so much! Happy to hear you enjoyed the film (and the soundtrack too, as it was also really fun to compose)! 😁
A good first attempt at the storyline! I’m impressed that this was done by a bunch of teenagers. The cinematography, however, was scintillating. It held me throughout the whole movie.
Excellent Movie, great acting and a lot of suspence. We loved it, thank you!
I m just me. Not in the business... So I watched this once b4. I watched it again just now.. I loved it.. lots o f tension.. gives a person's brain, those lil rushes... Expect to c Danny's name a lot in the future... Most likely all of u... Thank u
You can never really see and know the light till you've peered into the dark. Into the unknown. We tend to fear that which we don't know. Good job on your film. Tense, edge of the seat style. The ending was totally unexpected. It's all the better when it's a surprise and not what was expected.
I enjoyed this so much! An amazing movie with a timeless message of hope, grief, and renewal. Cheers.
This was amazing. Kept me glued every second. REAL talent, guys!!!
What the real name of charlie
The movie was very well done. I thought it was better than some of the big budget movies. I very much liked the music. It went well with the scenes. Good luck with any future endeavors.
Great movie ❤ it deserves an award 🏆scarey but fascinating at the same time 🙂cant wait to see more movies please 🙏
Congratulations! I was simply captivated. Good luck in your future undertakings! :)
Love this so much! Kept me guessing and kept me in my seat. You all have it going on! Keep making more. Your stuff is worth me watching. I will be waiting to see more of your work!
excellent! love that it was a guy cast. no hyperventilating, screaming girls! no cussing or filth, and the photography was phenomenal! just enough eerieness to keep me captivated! your hearts are known by the quality you produce! WOW! keep up the good work! (there are people watching who enjoy a clean, decent movie and I commend you for giving us this)!👍😁
Cool movie. Some nice filming/music. An ending with a little depth, I appreciated it.
It moved slowly but suspenseful. The choice of music built my curiosity to a fragile balance on the edge of a new discovery, a clue, a surprisind revelation, coaxing me on to the next rush of adrenaline! With the great cinematography and choreographed scenes I felt like I was the one running from the cloaked figure with my heart pounding! This is exactly what two teens would do to find their lost friend and not give up! Good mystery movie without the gore!! 👍🏻
Thank you for the awesome comment! Glad you enjoyed the film!
Well based on that enlightening and glowing review, I’ll watch it!
No spoilers
GREAT MOVIE, good storyline, nice twists. I really enjoyed watching it
Finalmente un film !! Attori regia tematiche un bravo a tutto
This movie is really packed with suspense and drama, I think you did a wonderful job.
Makes my imagination wander ...
I thought something other worldly was in the woods and whatever is lost in there, it keeps but if people on this side keep looking with the intent to find, it releases.
The key message I got was society should not ignore or accept people simply listed as 'missing persons' but keep looking to find these real people taken from us. Many are fortunate they have someone who insist on looking but many do not and the case goes cold.
You guys did an awesome job.The detective/dad was especially great.I give you all my encouragement to continue making films and entertaining the world.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏼
Thank you for making and sharing this film. I really enjoyed it.
This indie film starts off slow, but there's a plot twist about 3/4 way through that I didn't see coming, and I'm an author, so I can usually guess and am right. All together there are three plot twist which are great. Making this a true original film. You guy's will go far. Keep it up.
Guys, considering this was your first feature film, for what it's worth, you got a lot right. The soundtrack enhanced the dramatic moments perfectly, & sure, there were times when the acting wasn't the best, but there are studio films where the acting is far worse. The stunts were pretty good, especially the fall down the hill. I'd say you should hold your head high for this effort, & given a few acting lessons you have a promising career ahead of you my friend. So, for your first feature film you get an 8/10 from me, & a big ❤😘.
Kind regards......Urban Geeze.
Please make another!! I struggle to sit through movies for too long but i actually managed to watch this from start to end! Actually really enjoyed it!
For a first film I think you all did a great job!
Just absolutely love your film! You all did an excellent job! Great plot and it was suspenseful, it just kept me glued to the screen to see what would happen next! The ending was so perfect! This film should get an award! Keep up the great work!
What a fabulous film :))
Good work everybody.
I Concur with the previous comment (which got me watching, in a sense). Great watch! Loved it!
This film got so famous that our school asked us to do a Movie Review on this film as an assignment.
Haha, that's fun to hear!
Not at all bad, you guys! Camera work was good, story was engaging, and acting was pretty good. Dug the Hatman thing keeping the mystery going until the end. I would totally squat that old house in those gorgeous woods, lol.
In response to the person who asked about KEVIN not eating or remembering all the missing days….this movie is the perfect setting of a “ time slip” or “ glitch in the matrix” there are tons of real stories on READIT of people who have missing time….very interesting reads for anyone who is interested!
Outstanding!!! Gentleman, I'll be 58 years old next month and have to compliment you on your first movie release. This was amazing! You should all be very, very proud of your work! ❤ I don't know the location you shot your movie on, but I will say this; the opening into those woods immediately brought The Dark Hedges that line Bregagh Road in Northern Ireland. What a beautiful location!!! Don't ever let anyone quell your creativity or imaginations. The story kept me engaged from start to finish. That kind of writing has become scarce. These are all things we haven't seen come out of Hollywood on the big screen for 20 + years. Stay the course gentleman.
I hope to see a lot more from you going forward. I agree you need to enter this in a film festival. You really should. ❤
Well done gentleman.
Very well done indeed!!! ❤
I am curious as I did not see it in the credits; who portrayed Kevin?

Thank you for the kind words! We mostly filmed the woods scenes in places along the Oregon coast, and in some small woodsy locations on the outskirts of Los Angeles. However, the main entrance to the woods (the image we have as the thumbnail/poster for the film and its tunnel of trees) was actually a visual effect, a composite from a variety of photos we took in various forests. The Dark Hedges was actually one of the inspirations for us in designing that image. Though I would love to someday actually film in Ireland! In terms of the actor who played Kevin… There are actually several roles that are uncredited, due to the fact many of us played more than one role in the film. For Kevin specifically, that’s me (the director). Since I also play Chris I opted to only list myself as Chris, since I didn’t want to credit myself too many times in the credits. 😁 We’re so happy to hear you enjoyed the film! Thank you for watching!
@@RickairProductions Very good!!! I thought you were Chris and Kevin! Keep up that quality of work! My husband also watched and was really impressed! As was a very close, dear friend of mine I text the link to. He really loved the movie! I'm sincerely looking forward to the next one!!!❤

Award of shit movie
Def impressive! Was fun to watch and look forward to your next project🤓
Super good movie. Wasnt sure at first, turned out to be better than i expected.
Great movie! I never comment on movies, but felt like I needed to express my gratitude. You guys put out a captivating suspense movie that I thoroughly enjoyed. Thank you. I am looking forward to more of the same.
Ha! I was excited to see the “Bear Mountain Ski Resort picture on the wall. I grew up in Big Bear and have skied those slopes more times than I can count. Great movie! Keep up the good work guys!
Thank you! Love that you noticed that detail, haha! We love the resort too and already had the poster from past trips. We asked Bear Mountain if we could feature it in our film and they were more than happy to let us. They even sent us some extra stickers to go along with it. Great place!
Just watched the movie and I can't believe how good it was! I thought everything about the movie was great! Finally a movie where it surprised me-intense-scary-mysterious-and I loved it!
Have to say Erik Margolin this was a pretty terrific movie. Well written, well-photographed and the characters were spot-on. Danny and Charlie's friendship was perfect. Storyline was really good. Thanks for all your effort, sweat and tears. Hope you have more exciting films in the future. (I live in Alki Peninsula, Seattle so scenery was epic) Congratulations and pray for more success for you.
Thank you for the kind words! Glad you enjoyed the movie!
You're sincerely welcome !!@@RickairProductions
I've been to Washington a couple of times and I'm in love with Mount Rainier. It's funny how now since I've been there anytime I see anything filmed in Washington I can always recognize it immediately.... there's just something about Washington that looks like nothing else.
Wonderful unique movie, beautifully photograph, loved the tree's, BRAVO!!!❤
FORGOT THE Y AT THE END OF PHOTOGRAPHY 😅
In the end, the fog disappears and the light appears.
Once you conquer all your fears, you become unstoppable.
Yeah! Well carved indie movie. Super. Especially music scoring.❤
