The Art of Travel

Phoenix Film Festival - The Art of Travel

CONNER LAYNE is on top of the world. He is graduating high school as valedictorian of his class and receiving a full scholarship to attend college at Cal Berkeley in the fall. Even better, he's about to marry his long time childhood sweetheart, Kate, the perfect girl, and begin a new life with her. His life seems to be going in the ideal direction until his wedding day arrives. When wedding plans come crumbling down at the altar, Conner goes solo on his honeymoon to gain a sense of perspective.While traveling, he meets CHRISTOPHER LOREN and his wife, DARLENE. Chris has since scrapped his job to lead an expedition through the world's most dangerous jungle, the Darien Gap: 125 miles of jungle that separates North from South America. It is a region controlled by revolutionaries, drug lords, and where no roads exist. Chris Loren's goal is to be the first person to drive a jeep across the Darien Gap. Conner joins the expedition and becomes the seventh member of this ragtag team of travelers with one common goal- to break a world record.The Art of Travel is about the twists and turns in the jungle of life. Inside these moments are new friends and adventures, even in the wake of our darkest moments. We see the journey through the eyes of Conner, a boy becoming someone he never though he could be and blazing a new path in his life.
