A buddy movie for a country that forgot how to be buddies.
Confined to the chaos of city life in 2020, Hollywood couple Adam and Eiryn flee to what looks online to be a quaint little town. Their fantasy escape becomes a harsh reality though when they meet Everett, their next-door neighbor who may just be the national redneck villain they’ve seen all over the news lately.
Kept out of work by the pandemic, Adam is forced to make a blue collar living in this new world with Everett. The two set off into the rural South in a rickety work van where neither man can escape battling the other’s ridiculous beliefs — or learning from each other how to fix their broken lives.
Adam n’ Everett is a story about finding a connection in the loneliest of times and discovering home in the strangest of places.
SYNOPSIS
MEET THE CHARACTERS
-
“Woke” is a badge of honor for this doting husband and screenwriter who aims to please by making every story diverse and inclusive. It takes the solitude of quarantine for him to start writing about the cowboy hero that he wishes he were. So when a city riot endangers his home, Adam attempts to save his marriage by blazing a new trail into a world that his wife romanticizes but which he has always been terrified of - Dixieland.
-
Kind and neighborly yet politically incorrect to a disturbing degree, Everett straddles the line between Southern gentleman and backwoods bigot. But beneath the hardened shell lies a man desperate for redemption who will have to face the tragedy that haunts him — even if it means teaming up with a liberal.
-
A has-been actress turned aspiring influencer, Eiryn is battling the nightmare of irrelevance. Convinced her last chance at having a fanbase is motherhood, she sets her sights on the perfect home to raise a family in… as soon as she puts her phone down and kicks her pill habit.
A NOTE FROM THE WRITER-DIRECTOR
“Adam n’ Everett is my hug to the world, my ode to our country, and my love letter to the South.”
