In the year 2029 Southern Oregon and Northern California have formed a libertarian style nation called Jefferson. Dylan (Sam Daly) is ex-special forces. After two years he is going back to visit his Sarah (Michelle Lombardo) who now lives with Bruce (Danforth Comins) a peace officer. Dylan has a small cylindrical computer called Clyde that he can pop in and out of his head. It advises him...aka "A Boy and His Dog." That is when he wants to use it. At a nightclub, Dylan meets Lisa (Leilani Sarelle) an untrustworthy woman who hires him to be a mediator between her and her even more untrustworthy husband (Simon Templeman) in a divorce.The title comes from an ELO song, "Long Black Road" an appropriate song for Dylan. There is a smidgen of humor in the film as when Dylan calls Clyde, HAL. This is a slow burn science fiction and I can envision many not enjoying it.Guide: F-word, sex, brief nudity (Leilani Sarelle)

I LOVE sci-fi, but this was absolutely horrible. The only thing interesting in this is the implant, which is turned off part of the time. The sex scenes are ridiculous, and it seems that they are there due to lack of material content. I really do not understand why some of them were in the movie at all. They did not add to the content or quality of the story. This could have been an interesting idea, but instead comes off as cheesy and not well thought out. The acting is underwhelming for some characters, and over the top for others. I really tried to like this movie, but found myself fast forwarding through most of it. This is supposed to be futuristic, but that is not believable in this movie. The character's situations seemed to be silly and confusing. Even the music was awful.

Don't miss this brilliant film which left me wanting more. Love the way it embellishes some emerging social themes in subtle but powerful ways. Main character Dylan is adrift with his 'right ear man'Clyde, his cyborg implant played superbly by Andrew Wilson. The endearing twosome get caught in a perilous web of treachery. The dark mix of intoxicating elements makes for a fascinating 'film noir' experience, with a strong script, editing, sound mixing, pacing and excellent acting provided in part by a trove of local Shakespeare festival actors. Clever and captivating with steady build-up and a very thought provoking finale. For those who enjoy thrillers, contemplation and striking new characters and ideas, this is sure to become a favorite!

This movie was filmed locally in southern Oregon. I was not sure what to expect.. However, it is a Sci Fiction movie based in 2029 which was thrilling and had unexpected plots an turns. The main character went back to Jefferson which had become a free state to find his girlfriend. He was a cyborg with a removable computer that was implanted in his head. I gave this a higher rating because it was so much better than the cheesy Sci Fiction movies I have had the displeasure of watching. Great acting too. I felt like I was watching an A rated professional movie. I see almost every movie that comes out especially independent film . The producer even talked to us before the movie. You won't be disappointed.
