Los Angeles, CA  (November 14, 2024) — For When You Get Lost, a new indie comedy exploring family, friendship, and craft beer culture, premieres for streaming on Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, and Vudu/Fandango at Home on November 15. This award-winning film brings together the unique charm of craft breweries with the heartfelt journey of two sisters seeking connection on the road.

Inspired by a real-life road trip, For When You Get Lost follows June Stevenson (Jennifer Sorenson) and her sister Cami (Elizabeth Alderfer) as they embark on a scenic drive up the Pacific Coast filled with brewery stops, heartfelt revelations, and moments of laughter. Each stop at a brewery becomes a touchstone for their relationship, as they bond over shared pints and reflect on life’s twists and turns. These breweries are more than pit stops; they’re places where the sisters find camaraderie, inspiration, and some much-needed adventure — inviting viewers to explore the craft beer world through the eyes of two women navigating complex family ties.

Celebrating Craft Beer Culture as a Space for Connection and Self-Discovery

Screenwriter and co-star Jennifer Sorenson brings her extensive experience in the craft beer world to the screen, capturing the warm, inviting energy that often defines these spaces. “Craft breweries are hubs for people from all walks of life, and the friendships and stories you find there are one of a kind,” Sorenson shared in an interview. “For June and Cami, each brewery they visit reflects a new side of their relationship, showing how welcoming and transformative these places can be.”

The production captured real, beloved brewery settings across Northern California and Oregon. Audiences can catch iconic scenes shot at Six Rivers Brewery and Lost Coast Brewery in Humboldt County, Redwood Curtain Brewing Company in Arcata, North Coast Brewing in Fort Bragg, and additional locations in Astoria, Oregon, and Novato, Marin County.

A Festival Circuit Success Story

Directed by Michelle Steffes and winner of multiple awards, including the Comedy Vanguard Audience Award at the 2023 Austin Film Festival, For When You Get Lost has captured the hearts of audiences with its blend of comedy, scenic beauty, and the relatable dynamics of sisterhood. Critics and viewers alike have praised the film for its “sincere, subversive, and entirely unique” perspective (Film Threat), as well as its authentic look at the craft beer world.
