Traveling across a barren landscape, Lernert digs through piles of rubbish in an attempt to build a body for his companion Susan, the unresponsive robot head who hangs from the back of his pack. The pair comes across Rola, a spirited young woman who lacks survival skills but makes up for the deficiency with sheer determination. This unlikely trio navigates the harsh desert in search of a mythical water basin that could replenish their depleted resources and renew their will to carry on. The title is a reference to the Grandaddy song "Everything Beautiful is Far Away" whose lyrics mirror the plot and themes of the film.
Everything Beautiful Is Far Away premiered at the 2017 Los Angeles Film Festival and received the U.S. Fiction Cinematography Award. It later screened at the Tacoma Film Festival, receiving the Best Director and Best Cinematography Awards[2] and at the Eastern Oregon Film Festival, receiving the award for Best Feature.[3]
Alex Billington of FirstShowing.net reviewed the film positively saying "there's a sublime simplicity to Everything Beautiful is Far Away that also helps make it feel even more endearing as a cinematic feature."[4] The film was acquired for distribution by The Orchard.[5]
