Plot
David Giuntoli plays David, a former child actor with big plans. Not only is he about to audition for a role in a movie about Lewis and Clark, but he is also about to marry his fiancée, Frankie. Unfortunately, Frankie leaves David just a few days before their wedding. In an effort to help David deal with his grief, his best friend, Flula (played by Flula Borg) suggests that the two men take the trip that David had planned for his honeymoon with Frankie. After some prodding, David reluctantly accepts this idea, and the two men embark on a seven-day hike through the mountains of Oregon. Along the way, David and Flula interact with a variety of quirky characters, but most importantly they strengthen the bond of friendship between them.
To prepare for his film audition, David is reading the diary of William Clark, which describes not only the Lewis and Clark expedition and their adventures along the trail, but also his friendship and interactions with Meriwether Lewis. As they travel, David notices a series of parallels between his literal and metaphorical journey with and the expedition of Lewis and Clark through these same Northwest woods, as well as the friendship between the two men. This creates many points of bonding between David and Flula even as they make their way through one misadventure after another.
Cast
Production
Buddymoon was filmed almost entirely (with the exception of a few remaining pick-up shots) over a period of ten days in the summer of 2014 on location in Oregon, and the actors worked from a detailed outline rather than a full script. Because the majority of the film revolves around the main characters' trek through the mountains of Oregon, it was filmed primarily outdoors, and only a few scenes take place indoors. The director, Alex Simmons, shot every scene with two cameras using a "dueling singles" technique, and he used natural light as much as possible.
