Shot over five years across more than sixty rolls of Super 8, this film began as a documentation of images. The desire to hold onto memory. It returns to those images to explore the larger context they have accumulated over time.

Dust, sweat and the open road. Part road movie, part existential drift, capturing beauty, boredom, and the unlikely characters that define whatever journey this turns out to be.

Every great story about freedom heads west. Voicemail to Mom follows two new arrivals trying to make a life in a city that promises everything and guarantees nothing.
