Michael is a buttoned‑down lawyer who suddenly finds himself drafted into the strangest mission of his life when his mother “kindly suggests” he drive his tie‑dye‑soaked father Thomas across the country in a wheezing 1968 VW Hippie bus named "ARLO". Thomas never made it to Woodstock back in ’69, and now he’s determined to at least stand on the sacred ground where it all went down — peace, love, mud, the whole cosmic buffet. What should’ve been a simple family obligation quickly spirals into a groovy, chaotic road trip full of roadside weirdos, unexpected detours, and a bus that seems to run on incense fumes and stubbornness. Somewhere between the laughter, the arguments, and the questionable diner coffee, Michael starts to realize this trip might matter more than anyone’s letting on. By the time "Arlo" rattles toward the museum, father and son may not be enlightened — but they’re definitely not the same two knuckleheads who climbed into that bus.

The "My Dad, Arlo & Me" script was vibing so hard with the universe that it basically sprouted its own little cinematic offspring — the proof‑of‑concept short "A Strange Trip". Like any good hippie baby, it came into the world barefoot, curious, and ready to collect good vibes… which it absolutely did. This groovy little short has already racked up 9 festival wins, 13 craft awards, 4 finalist placements, 6 honorable mentions, and 12 official selections, floating through the indie‑film cosmos like a tie‑dye comet picking up trophies instead of hitchhikers. It’s the kind of film that wanders into a festival with a peace sign and walks out with an armful of laurels. ✌️🌼🎬

And as if "A Strange Trip" wasn’t already floating through the festival universe like a tie‑dye shooting star, the little film went and picked up its own soundtrack — courtesy of the legendary Texas blues‑rock band Dr. Wu’. This short didn’t just get music… it got soul, man. The kind of guitar‑soaked, good‑vibe energy that makes your aura want to boogie. You can even check it out on Amazon Music — just click the album cover and let the cosmic blues wash over you. Link’s temporary for now, but hey… even spiritual journeys get updated along the way. Peace, love, and Texas rock ’n’ roll. ✌️🎸
