GRounded
A film by John Bruner


Anchor 1
Synopsis
Logline
A career-focused pilot and his very proper mother embark on what may be their last road trip.
synopsis
James is a pilot trying to move into management. He might miss his big chance because he has to take his aging and very proper mother home after her extended visit. As James struggles to get back on course, his mother runs out of time to reveal a secret that could be what finally slows James down.
​
The film is semi-autobiographical, recounting road trips the director took with his own mother more than a decade ago. It’s a story about some universal truths: how we sometimes put careers in front of people, how fears can block our enjoyment of life, and how we all crave a closeness within our families that's sometimes hard to achieve.
