There is a certain delight for best friends who seemingly get themselves into unnecessary trouble from idiotic mistakes or dumb luck of their own in Quicksand.
This indie comedy marks the directorial feature film debut of JohnPaul Morris, which stars Simon Elias and Tanner Presswood in the two leading roles as the two best friends on a road trip that gone awry.
Here is a brief description of the film:
Quicksand follows best friends Ray (Presswood) and Paul (Elias), recent college grads who are co-best men in their buddy’s wedding. But when they lose the ring just days before the ceremony, their fateful road trip to get it back accelerates into a loud exploration of life, love, and how to not die.
