Pretty solid film for an amateur effort. Nice cinematography, but a little sappy and predicable with many "you've got to be kidding me" moments when finding clues. Kudos to the writer / star, as I too would have myself hooking up with 2 hot chicks, despite having no game. Well done, Joe!!

Pretty Decent Film
Started strong and then fizzled out as it went along
The first 15 minutes of the movie made me really excited. I started doing research on the writer/director/main character hoping that things would continue along the same trajectory: fast food-eating loner finds himself in the wilderness because he's dragged kicking and screaming along a treasure hunt.
Then it unraveled: Cheesy folk music, extra long exposition over smartphone video chat, and the nature porn. I like the outdoors and Yosemite is great and all, but I felt like the creator of this film had a good idea and then didn't really do anything bold or interesting with it.
Now, there's so much potential here. Honestly. And I have no idea how hard it is to make a movie. I hope the director keeps working on perfecting his craft because he's got something going, just not with this particular film.
Creative
I liked the idea and the main actors were pretty good. The scenery for the second half of the movie was lovely. Some of the minor actors acting was terrible, but luckily weren't on screen long. I didn't care for the score at all, but maybe that's a personal thing. Overall it's a nice flick with a good message.
