Road to Paloma (2014)

Co-written, produced, directed by and starring Jason Momoa, Road to Paloma is an understated gem. Made for just $600,000, it has the spirit of Easy Rider (1969) but with a final scene that Dir. John Hillcoat would be proud to own.
Everything works, from the intimate handheld camerawork to the subtle but soulful exploration of main character Wolf's reasons for being on the road to begin with, all tied together with a perfectly fitting music selection.
The expansive environments that the biker travels through somehow act as a reminder that human relationships can be fleeting but meaningful, and that beauty can be found in the most remote of places. Considering Momoa's Hollywood career to date, it's fair to say that he has some hidden depths.
