Description

In Sarnia’s Chemical Valley, a red-hot Chevy El Camino is the last treasured possession that Travis and Marianne have hung on to after losing everything, including their house. Should they sell this reminder of more prosperous days or take off on the open road, a dream they’ve been chasing all their lives? As this close-knit couple tries to decide, life offers some unexpected twists. KM

Sami Khan was born in Sarnia, Ontario, and recently received an M.F.A. in film from Columbia University. His short films include The Workout (08), which screened at the 2008 Festival, and 75 El Camino (09).
