Three Roads to Oaxaca

Three Roads to Oaxaca is a true story set in 1975. We follow three carefree hippies in their 20s, Michael, Leslie, and Thomas, as they ditch responsibility in favor of freedom, each taking different routes hitchhiking from Austin to Oaxaca. The journeys involve run-ins with federales, hallucinogenic sojourns, encounters with miraculous strangers, and episodes that make each traveler question their own mortality and reason for being. A coming of age story from a bygone era, Three Roads to Oaxaca shows how the right journey at the right moment can change your life forever.

"One of the script’s most attractive qualities is the tone that the writer creates for the narrative, which immediately signals to the audience that this script is a bildungsroman-esque story about three people finding their paths in the 1970s." Miami Screenplay Awards
