Synopsis

Josh (Mark Duplass), a struggling musician, wins a vintage recliner in an eBay auction. Since he lives in New York and the chair is in Atlanta, this poses a bit of a problem. He asks his girlfriend, Emily (Kathryn Aselton), to accompany him on the trip, and his hippie brother Rhett (Rhett Wilkins) joins the pair along the way.

"(The Panasonic AG-DVX100) was a $3,000 video camera that shot at the film frame rate, with warm colours that made it feel like film. Suddenly you could make a great-looking movie for $1,000."
