In BACKSEAT, a 'coming of age late' story about prolonged adolescence, two old friends flee New York City on a three-day road trip to Montreal to escape their problems and meet the great Donald Sutherland. Between running drugs and meeting a man who only communicates through instant messaging, they run head-on into the always lingering problem of real life.

Directed by award-winning commercials director, Bruce van Dusen (who wrote and directed the Sundance hit COLD FEET) and written by and starring newcomer Josh Alexander, BACKSEAT is an off-beat and refreshing indie comedy about generation X as it struggles through prolonged adolescence and into adulthood. With a cast of truly wonderful up-and-comers (Will Janowitz from The Sopranos, Rob Bogue from Guiding Light, Aubrey Dollar from Women's Murder Club) and featuring a soundtrack with some of the biggest indie acts currently playing the US music scene, BACKSEAT is an entertaining, and ultimately moving snapshot of a few regular folks struggling to make sense of their lives and what they want from them.
