What is this?

Does anybody know what this is? I find it intriguing that there's no information, and no other cast posted beside Adrian Grenier, and, most of all, that the recommended title for folks who enjoyed it is "Lewis and Clark." Hmm....

All I know of this movie is that it was shown at the Tribeca Film festival for one of the categories and also that it is a documentary by Adrian Grenier on a search for his father.

Anyone have any idea of how one could obtain a copy of it? I'm really interested in seeing it but have come up empty handed so far in my search.

I saw this film on Sunday at the Toronto International Film Festival. It was wonderful. It's real, and raw, and full of emotion.And as a bonus, Adrian made the trip to participate in a Q&A following the film. It was definitely rewarding to hear his comments on the film, the making of it, and what it meant to him. I've already started spreading the word, and can't wait until it comes out on DVD. It's a very honest and touching film, and a great comment on fatherhood, parenting, and family in general. I highly recommend it.

After tonights episode of Entourage HBO showed a short preview of about 30 seconds to a minute about it. Looks like it'll be airing on HBO sooner or later.

I *THINK* it's part of HBO's Film Library. (as I saw this on HBO--first I ever heard of Adrian Grenier).

Interesting movie to watch on a bored, rainy Sunday afternoon.
You're not missing anything in life by missing this movie (a "vanity project").

That's not a slight to Adrian Grenier or the work---it's just a simple piece of a young man trying to find his long lost father...

There's no real "RAW" emotion in the piece. I guess mainly because Carl Dunbar, his Dad is rather non-emotive kind of guy, so work with what you got.

But, to circle back to your answer...check HBO Library.

I would not be surprised if they run this again when Entourage Season starts...so keep your eyes open.
