Kasey stares off into the distance at Mono Lake

Where in the Hell

About

Where in the Hell is an arthouse buddy comedy written and directed by Laramie Dennis.

When her girlfriend disappears mid-road trip, sardonic prop master Kasey is left stranded in a California backwater. Panicked, she hitches a ride with cash-strapped actor Alan on his trek to an audition in Canada. Together, the unlikely duo dodges Reno psychics, stale corn nuts, and border security on a quest to find a missing soulmate and maybe validation.

Past Screenings

“Kasey is bitterly cynical while Alan is blindingly optimistic, which makes for a hilarious odd-couple road movie. Featuring beautifully shot landscapes, Laramie Dennis’s laidback debut feature film draws on, and queers, the work of Sam Shepard, and will delight fans of offbeat indie comedies à la the ‘90s works of Hal Hartley and Alison Anders.”

– Valerie Webb, MQFF

“Waiting for Godot on the road”

– Preston Cato, QWFF

Reviews

“Where in the Hell is a gem of a film—a lighthearted yet thought-provoking tale about letting go of control and embracing the absurdities along the way.”

– Paul Hibbard, ZekeFilm

“Visually, [Where in the Hell] leans into a dreamy Americana aesthetic—faded motel signs, the glow of a jukebox, an endless stretch of road disappearing into the horizon. It’s the kind of setting that makes you want to roll down the windows and let the wind tangle your hair. There’s a wistful, almost nostalgic quality to it all, as if the film itself is aware that these fleeting in-between moments are the ones we remember most.”

– Cody Allen, fade in, breathe out

“Dennis has done a masterful job […] Killion and Lee have a laidback chemistry reminiscent of siblings forced to spend extended periods in the car together, both wishing they could be elsewhere but, at the same time, giving off an air that it’s them against the world.”

– Lisa Nystrom, FilmInk

“Brings heart and a grounded approach to existential turmoil.”

– Lauren Muniz, MovieMaker

“An ode to fleeting relationships that burn brightly for a few days before disappearing forever.”

– Tina Kakadelis, Beyond the Cinerama Dome

“Across a cool 90 minutes we laugh with them, at them, for them, taking a journey across America, but also through their hearts and their issues and concerns. Dennis mixes that together and crafts a buddy comedy, with a sardonic spin, which is both light and enjoyable, whilst also grasping issues which have left most of us pretty tender.”
