Give as a gift
Matters of identity, personal expression, and belonging were never simple for Tom Ryan, the boundary-pushing, David Bowie-obsessed son of a housekeeper in New York’s tony Hamptons. But when the revelation of a long-held family secret shatters his sense of self, Tom flees to the electric anonymity of Las Vegas to forget.
There, an intriguing stranger offers him the ultimate opportunity for distraction, and Tom is launched headfirst into a 20-something's playground: a charged, stimulating world of indulgence, adulation, and exhibition, while making unexpected emotional connections with a new "found" family of choice. But distractions aren't reality, and when Tom’s new world starts to come apart from within (in a harrowing series of third-act events, each with Tom at the center) he soon learns how the things we leave unresolved in life find ways to force their own resolution.
Station to Station is the debut film from writer-director Benjamin Bryant. Set in a uniquely 21st-century environment, the film explores our rapidly evolving perceptions and conventions of family, friendship, roles, sexuality, expression and self-determination--probing, and often challenging, the assumptions and judgments we (both the characters and the audience) make about ourselves and each other.
Station to Station made its festival premiere, in competition, as the opening night selection of the Las Vegas International Film & Screenwriting Festival on November 9, 2021, where it received eight jury nominations -- including for Best Drama Feature, Supporting Actor and Actress, Musical Score, Costume Design, and Best Film -- winning two. Additional honors include: Writing, Score, and multiple Acting awards from the IndieFEST Film Awards and nominations for Best Newcomer Director, Original Concept, Ensemble Cast, Costume Design, and Feature Film from FILMHAUS Berlin. (The film was also recognized on multiple occasions for the centering and inclusion of Asian/Asian-Americans in front of and behind the camera, and the significant representation of LGBT characters and their stories.) Station to Station was shot on location in Las Vegas, under strict health and safety protocols, during the 2020 Coronavirus pandemic.
