The Long Walk Interview: Jordan Gonzalez talks dystopian thriller

The Long Walk Interview: Jordan Gonzalez talks dystopian thriller

Interview Conducted by Christopher Gallardo
https://www.instagram.com/chrisagwrites/

The Long Walk releases in theaters September 12

ABOUT THE LONG WALK:
Set in a dystopian alternative version of the United States ruled by a totalitarian regime, the story follows 50 young men who sign up for THE LONG WALK, where they walk at a pace of 3 miles per hour until contestants are eliminated one-by-one and only one winner is left. It's a film that stays with you – the unforgettable characters, the relentless pace and the uncomfortable questions it asks about who we are and what we value.

The film features an all-star cast led by Cooper Hoffman (Saturday Night) and David Jonsson (Alien: Romulus), alongside legends Mark Hamill and Judy Greer. Ben Wang (Karate Kid: Legends), Charlie Plummer (Looking For Alaska), Garrett Wareing (Manifest) and Tut Nyuot (The Witcher: Blood Origin) round out the powerhouse ensemble.

Written and Directed by Tracie Laymon
Produced by Tracie Laymon, Sean Mullin, Edgar Rosa, Felipe Dieppa
Starring Barbie Ferreira, John Leguizamo, French Stewart, Lauren "Lolo" Spencer, Rachel Bay Jones

BOB TREVINO LIKES IT is inspired by the true friendship that writer/director Tracie Laymon found with a stranger in real life while looking for her father online.

Often playing the role of caretaker to people like her father, who should be caring for her, Lily Trevino longs for familial connection. When her father, Robert, finally checks out of her life, Lily looks for him on the internet. She tries to "friend" a man she believes is her father on Facebook. But instead of finding Robert Trevino, she finds Bob Trevino instead.

Bob Trevino works long, hours at a construction company to support his wife Jeanie's elaborate scrapbooking habit. The couple has endured a lot in the past decade, and Bob has prioritized his wife's healing to the point of ignoring his feelings and sense of loneliness. When Bob gets an unexpected Facebook message from a stranger named Lily Trevino, he discerns she needs a friend as much as he does.

Lily and Bob's blossoming friendship becomes a vital source of connection and healing for both, holding the power to change each of their lives forever. Winner of an astounding thirteen film festival audience awards, BOB TREVINO LIKES IT retains the optimism that big tech can still provide human connection and that true friendship is a powerful kind of love and perhaps the family we need most in today's world.
