About this movie

A monotonous life has pushed the unfulfilled Forrest (Todd Blubaugh) to a voyage of self-discovery by living aboard his sailboat on an alluring lake. Soon he catches wind of the free-spirited Everly (Nicola Collie) and their idealistic dreams align for a thrilling and thought-provoking, romantic adventure. Can they survive, reconnect with nature and rewrite their own rules of modern existence, or will they discover that society operates the way it does for a reason? EMMY Award-winning filmmaker, Trevor Hawkins created Lotawana in his own backyard by writing, directing, shooting, editing, financing and literally almost dying in an underwater cave for his debut feature-film. While filming, the two lead actors fell in love on-screen and later married in real life.

Ratings and reviews

Easy to follow, sometimes slow love story of two young people figuring life out. It follows their life of living on a sailboat and struggling to survive with little money. I thought the story was good. The cinematography was excellent and the acting was good. Basically a two person show with others in and out.. The ending made me jump. Sad and not completely unexpected. I think this young crew should do great thing in the future. This film is worth the watch.

This had me thinking about the movie for days. Very well made.
