Hoover Road

In rural Alabama, on July 22, 2004, Scotty Joe Weaver was brutally murdered for being a homosexual by his closest friend. After interviewing family members, and meeting the murderer in an Alabama prison, filmmaker Jonathan Pope Evans created this experimental narrative about the brutal crime, a fractured and startling re-imagining of the violent murder.

The fuse is lit when Jon, a chronic optimist, desperately seeks affirmation from his salty older friend, Daryl, by embarking on a cross-country road trip with an experimental motorcycle in an effort to realize Daryl's dream of seeing the Pacific Coast before he completely loses the remainder of his eyesight to a rare condition.
