Actor David Oyelowo makes his feature directorial debut with this imaginative, family-friendly adventure. Shot in Oregon, The Water Man follows a sensitive young boy as he embarks on a mission to help his gravely ill mother by locating the mythic Water Man, who may carry the secret to everlasting life. After enlisting the help of a mysterious local girl, they journey together into the remote Wild Horse forest, but the deeper they venture, the stranger and more dangerous the forest becomes. Their only hope for rescue is Gunner’s father (Oyelowo), who will stop at nothing to find them and bring his family back together. (APRIL 15-16)

Director’s Statement: David Oyelowo

While in some ways this film is a father and son story, at its core it’s also a love letter to mothers everywhere and is dedicated to my own.
