Lotawana (2018)

　　A monotonous life has pushed the unfulfilled Forrest (Todd Blubaugh) to live amongst nature aboard his sailboat, Lorelei, in a beautiful Missouri lake town. Soon he catches wind of the rebellious and free-spirited Everly (Nicola Collie) and their idealistic dreams align. 'Lotawana' takes the viewer on a thrilling and thought-provoking romantic journey as the wanderlust couple confronts immense challenges and difficult decisions, all while exploring relevant social issues and giving a strong voice to often-hushed female struggles. Can they survive and rewrite their own rules of modern existence, or will they discover that society operates the way it does for a reason? 　　World-renowned and award-winning filmmaker Trevor Hawkins of Mammoth Media created Lotawana in his own back yard on Lake Lotawana, Missouri. Self-financing the film with a loan against his house, Hawkins was able to maintain the integrity of his unique style and vision by writing, directing, shooting, editing and coloring his debut feature-film himself. Produced with his wife Cori Jo Hawkins and filmmaking partner Nathan Kincaid, the skeleton crew of ten overcame an array of obstacles, including losing their first lead actress a week into shooting as she decided to leave the industry altogether. They broke as many first-time feature-filmmaking rules as they could, shooting on and under water, with children, with animals, and by filming during every season of the year to highlight the natural beauty of the lake in its many incarnations, delivering an emotional and visceral experience sculpted by undeniably gorgeous cinematography.<br /> 　　译文(3): 单调的生活迫使没有成就感的福雷斯特（Todd Blubaugh饰）在密苏里州一个美丽的湖镇上乘坐他的帆船Lorelei生活在大自然中。很快，他就听到了叛逆自由的埃弗里（尼古拉·科利饰）的风声，他们的理想主义梦想一致了。”《洛塔瓦娜》带观众踏上了一段激动人心、发人深省的浪漫之旅，这对渴望旅行的夫妇面临着巨大的挑战和艰难的决定，同时探索相关的社会问题，并为经常沉默的女性斗争发出强有力的声音。他们能生存下来并改写自己的现代生存规则吗？还是他们会发现社会的运作方式是有原因的？
