Corner Piece Productions, April 2016

West of Her, directed by Ethan Warren ’04, is a film about adventure, romance and a life of meaning. Alone and adrift, Dan joins a mysterious organization, agreeing to roam the country with a stranger named Jane, working by night, laying small linoleum tiles in the streets of towns across America, each bearing the same cryptic message. Dan feels that his mysterious employers—who communicate only through Jane—know vital secrets. As the pair travels together, their contentious relationship grows and deepens, until they’re forced to choose between their work and the possibility of a future together. Filmed across ten states, West of Her has won many notable film festival awards, including three for Best Narrative Feature, one for Best Director, and Best Feature Film at the 2016 American Film Awards.
