The award-winning film The Odd Way Home by Rajeev Nirmalakhandan will be released on DVD/VOD this June. Starring Chris Marquette (Alpha Dog, Fanboys, The Girl Next Door) and Rumer Willis (The House Bunny, Wild Cherry, “90210”), The Odd Way Home is the story of two strangers embarking on an unforgettable journey through the American Southwest.
To escape her abusive past in Los Angeles, Maya (Willis) hits the road to get away from her old life. When her car breaks down in a middle-of-no-where town in New Mexico, she meets Duncan (Marquette), a reclusive man with autism. Their inspiring journey through the vistas of New Mexico is filled with moments of discovery, humor, surprises and hard realities. As their journey takes them to places they never expected, together they redefine the meaning of family.
The Odd Way Home is supported by Temple Grandin and Stephen Shore, best-selling authors, professors, prominent speakers and advocates for autism. The DVD release will include Six Letter Word, a short film about autism starring Rumer Willis, and a behind the scenes featurette.
Supporting cast includes Brendan Sexton III (Seven Psychopaths, “The Killing”), Veronica Cartwright (“The Witches of Eastwick,” Alien) and Bruce Altman (Matchstick Men, Game Change).
The Odd Way Home recently won the Audience Choice Award from the Albuquerque Film & Media Experience. The film premiered at the Austin Film Festival in 2013, to audience and critical praise.
