Loosely based on several hundred interviews with children about their dreams, ‘West of the Moon’ is the story of one man’s lost love and his strange path to redemption, aided along the way by a gambling robot, a wayward monkey, and a healthy dose of determination.  A truly beautiful film, in so many ways.  An inspiration to the rest of us.

Staring Jacob Whitkin, Michael Garbe, Amber Noelle, Christopher Tomaselli, and Michael Galvin

Produced by Thom Fennessey

Cinematography by Tarin Anderson

Music by the ever-wonderful Devotchka
