Synopsis: "Pearblossom Hwy," says director Mike Ott (whose 2010 feature "Littlerock" won the Audience Award at that year's edition of the festival), "has a mixture of fiction and nonfiction elements." A partial result, perhaps, of his self-described mild obsession with Mark Bochardt. "Pearblossom Hwy," tells the tale of "two friends who go on a road-trip to San Francisco (kind of)." The film's mysterious trailer, though, contains more Japanese than English, and seems to center on the relationship between a prostitute and her client. That, we are led to guess, might account for the "kind of."
