"Writer/director Michael Paradies Shoob has made a profound, honest, engrossing and beautifully shot emotional journey well worth taking. Kudos to Shoob for designing a window into the heart, mind and soul of Jason and Jake and for the actors, Whip Hubley and Robert Mirabal, for opening that window completely while finding the emotional truths of their roles." 
New York City Movie Guru - Avi Offer

“A thoughtful film and a resonant meditation on aging, second

chances, self-forgiveness… and the possibility of reclaiming one’s life at any age.”

New York Amsterdam News -Lapacazo Sandoval

"A pleasant surprise that really snuck up on me, since I was not expecting to be so enamored and moved by the interaction between two men on an extended cab ride through the desert."
The Weekend Warrior - Edward Douglas

Do you need to see the original? I don’t think so, but I’m fascinated with the way Shoob decided to continue the story.... I’ll definitely be renting the original.

What audience members are telling us us after seeing ROAD TO EVERYWHERE:

​​“It’s wonderful to finally find a movie we can see, then go out and talk about afterward and for the rest of the week!”  “This is what movies are supposed to be: well-written, beautifully-acted and filled with emotion, pathos, and humor.” 

“STUNNING, heartwarming, heartbreaking…so funny at times I laughed until I cried. As the storyline progressed, I experienced every emotion I know! "

"I loved the movie and the journey it took me on. Loved the characters. I'm 57 and my son who was my guest also loved the film. He is 17. So, this film has a wide age range that it appeals to, not an easy thing to do."

“Wonderful film. Amazing performances. Full of heart.  Emotional Resonance – especially at this point in life for me.  The depiction of reservation life is superb.  When do we see this kind of accurate, compassionate depiction of that culture? Rarely."

"Your film was absolutely stunning. The storytelling was deeply moving, and the cinematography was breathtaking. The cast was perfectly chosen, keeping me captivated and eager to see where the story would lead. Your writing truly shone, making this a remarkable achievement. Congratulations on creating such a powerful and memorable film!"

“The movie is wonderful! It’s crazy how impactful it is to see the young Skylar contrasted with the older man who’s lived, loved, lost… Everyone can relate to these 2 guys!  The dashed hopes and dreams, the mistakes… What an amazing journey.
