Shots from the film

Based on a collection of true stories from the filmmakers themselves, the film delves deep into the emptiness felt by all of its characters. The small unnamed town where the film is set is much like one you'd find anywhere in the heart of middle america, if you looked hard enough. Unlike the usual portrayal of small towns in cinema, "East of Nowhere" focuses on the archaic nature of such a town and its inhabitants where even those with the brightest of ambitions find no way out and how people surrounded by nothingness and the lack of chaos can pit themselves against each other and create their own chaos.
