“Always wondered if there’s a place somewhere for us. A place for weirdos.” Mubi revealed a quick teaser trailer for the film Gasoline Rainbow, the first narrative feature by acclaimed doc filmmakers the Ross Brothers. It’s playing at the 2024 SXSW Film Festival this month, and also CPH:DOX & the Cleveland Film Festival before it releases on Mubi this May. The film premiered at last year’s Venice Film Festival to mixed reviews. A rhapsodic portrait of the new generation from filmmakers Bill & Turner Ross (of Bloody Nose, Empty Pockets). With high school in the rearview, five teenagers from small-town Oregon decide to embark on one last adventure. Piling into an old van with a busted tail light, their mission is to make it to a place they’ve never been — the Pacific coast, 500 miles away. Their plan, in full: “Fuck it.” Starring Makai Garza, Micah Bunch, Tony Aburto, Nichole Dukes, Nathalie Garcia. This is a scripted feature, but it also plays like a doc following these wayward contemporary teens as they get into all kinds of trouble on their road trip. Fun film but not that great. If this kind of podunk cinema is your jam, be sure to check it out.

Full synopsis from SXSW: “With high school in the rearview, five teenagers from small-town Oregon decide to embark on one last adventure. Piling into a van with a busted tail light, their mission is to make it to a place they’ve never been—the Pacific coast. Their plan, in full: ‘Fuck it.’ Their improvised odyssey takes them through desert wilderness, industrial backwaters, city streets. They encounter outsiders from fringes of the American West and discover that the contours of their lives will be set by trails they blaze themselves. They are forgotten kids from a forgotten town, but they have their freedom and they have each other, hurtling toward an unknowable future—and The Party at the End of the World.” Details on screenings here.
Gasoline Rainbow is co-written and co-directed by Bill Ross and Turner Ross (also known as the Ross Brothers), creating their first narrative feature, after directing the doc films 45365, Tchoupitoulas, River, Western, Contemporary Color, and Bloody Nose, Empty Pockets previously, plus many other short films. Produced by Michael Gottwald, Carlos Zozaya, Claire Haley, Joanne Feinberg, Lauren Cargo, Jesy Buhl, Olivia Lloyd. This initially premiered at the 2023 Venice Film Festival last year in the Orizzonti section, and it’s playing at SXSW next this month.
