Doors open at 6pm

A Long Road to Tao is inspired by the true story of two best friends (Dayne & Lance) who mysteriously lose touch, then reunite when Dayne discovers that Lance is dying of AIDS. Both embark upon a journey of spiritual enlightenment, which unfolds through sea, sand and nature. A Long Road to Tao encourages audiences to reach a depth of becoming water, facing fears and accepting the flow of love as love.

Director Alex Carig’s work includes thirty years in the feature film industry, broadcast radio and local television. Alex strives to find socially relevant stories that entertain, educate, and enlighten. Writer Michael Allen is the creator of the Pulitzer Prize nominated book, “Tao of Surfing”, which is the basis for A Long Road to Tao.
