Our main character, Ward, impulsively decides to give up his welding job in Bakersfield and head to Jerome, Arizona, to realize his dream. Along the way, lots of bad things happen to him. Wendie Malick is fantastic as the personification of trouble our hapless hero picks up along the way. The pacing is never slow, and the film is shot in "mockumentary" format, giving it a darkly humorous edge. See this quirky road picture if you have the chance.
