この映画について

In Sedona, two inspiring stories of self-discovery intertwine over a day in mystical Sedona, AZ. One follows successful advertising executive Tammy on her birthday as she drives from Portland to Phoenix to land the biggest client of her career. A wrong turn gets her lost and takes her into Sedona by mistake, where a local tour plane runs her off the highway right in the middle of town during an emergency crash landing. She's forced to wait in Sedona while her damaged car is repaired. Across town, uptight lawyer Scott, vacationing with his partner Eddie and their two young sons, embarks on a family day hike out in the forest among the majestic red rocks. Eddie has brought workaholic Scott to Sedona for some rest and relaxation. They wind up in an unexpected frightening adventure out on the hiking trails when their 7-year-old Denny gets lost. The ensuing frantic search for the little boy sends Scott into a profound life-changing journey that forces him to examine his priorities and determine what's truly important in life. Meanwhile, Tammy unwittingly begins a spiritual transformation of her own as she encounters an array of quirky locals, each touching her in different meaningful ways. A string of bizarre coincidences spirals her out of control, leaving her haunted by her past and forcing her to face her demons head on. Letting her guard down, she confronts the implausible possibility that she has been brought to Sedona for a greater purpose.

評価とレビュー

Writer-Director, Tommy Stovall tells a humorous and poignant story about a woman who gets stuck in Sedona. Basically, Sedona won't let this woman leave until she has a long-awaited healing. As a resident of Sedona (and a former vacationer) I can absolutely relate to the synchronicity that Sedona offers to those who are ready to heal! Actors like Lyn Shaye, Barry Corbin, Matt Williamson, and newcomer Trevor Stovall, give truly amazing and heartfelt performances. Granted, some of the other actors were either standard or over the top, but hey...I cried, laughed unexpectedly, too. The scenery is stunning, terrific film-making for a shoestring budget...and the music is spectacular! This indie film needs more exposure so folks can experience the magic of Sedona via this story. Indie films are always compared to blockbusters with enormous budgets, but let's be real. A good story is worth it's weight and Sedona weighs in big time at 5 stars for me! Pass it on and expect a miracle in your own life...Elaine Marolakos Edelson

After watching Sedona, you can't help but feel warm on the inside. The writer/director, Tommy Stovall, has a powerful impact on the viewer's emotions, and the story is fun and wonderful. The acting is superb, and I would recommend this movie to anyone who enjoys great scenery and a fun story line!!

Well worth the price.
