Freestyle Digital Media has unveiled the trailer for “Jaunt,” a romantic dramedy that traces a spontaneous road trip along the California coast, ahead of its worldwide digital debut April 21.
Written by J.R. Rappaport and directed by Alexi Papalexopoulos, “Jaunt” follows Paul, a struggling and emotionally adrift photographer, and Madeline, a free-spirited Parisian, whose chance meeting in Los Angeles quickly evolves into an impulsive journey up the California coast to San Francisco.
According to the official synopsis, the story follows “a fleeting encounter in Los Angeles. Paul, a washed-up and manic-depressive photographer, and Madeline, a vivacious Parisian free spirit, find themselves entangled in more than just a one-night stand. Their unexpected connection propels them on a road trip to San Francisco… As the landscapes shift from the bustling city to serene coastal towns, their relationship deepens, revealing vulnerabilities, regrets and dreams. But beneath the laughter and shared moments, a storm is brewing.”
Blake Worrell and Emanuela Boisbouvier star as the central pair, with Montana Newsom — daughter of California Gov. Gavin Newsom — making her feature acting debut in a supporting role.
“‘Jaunt’ began as an exploration of escape. The kind we chase through other people, new places, or fleeting moments that feel more alive than our own lives,” Papalexopoulos said in a statement. “It follows two strangers who meet at the right time for all the wrong reasons, and discover that no matter how far you go, you can’t outrun the parts of yourself you’re trying to leave behind.”
Freestyle Digital Media, part of Byron Allen’s Allen Media Group, acquired the film’s VOD rights directly from the filmmakers. The title will be available to rent or own across digital HD platforms, including cable, satellite and streaming services.
