"You'll always meet different people anywhere and everywhere." Mubi has unveiled the full official trailer for the indie road trip film Gasoline Rainbow, the first narrative feature by acclaimed doc filmmakers the Ross Brothers. It just played at the 2024 SXSW Film Festival and Cph:dox, with a theatrical release set for May this summer. The film premiered at last year's Venice Film Festival to mixed reviews. A rhapsodic portrait of the new generation from filmmakers Bill & Turner Ross. With high school in the rearview, five teenagers from small-town Oregon decide to embark on one last adventure. Piling into an old van with a busted tail light, their mission is to make it to a place they've never been — the Pacific coast, 500 miles away. Their plan, in full: "Fuck it." Starring Makai Garza, Micah Bunch, Tony Aburto, Nichole Dukes, Nathalie Garcia. This is a scripted feature, but it also plays like a...

The loose-limbed and free-spirited optimism of youth pumps through the veins of the latest film from Bill Ross IV and his brother Turner as they take a road trip with a group of teenagers on the cusp of the post-school world.
The brothers have been plying a specific brand of docufiction for years, casting non-professionals and then helping them to construct characters lightly based upon themselves before putting them into semi-structured scenarios. With the passage of time, this hybrid approach has become increasingly popular but the Ross bros still lead the way in showing how it should be done.
The film, which closed MoMI’s First Look Festival, follows Nathaly Garcia, Makai Garza, Tony Aburto, Nichole Dukes and Micah Bunch as they head out in a van that has seen much better days. Their plan mainly consists of leaving their small town of Wiley, Oregon, firmly in the rearview mirror,...

A yearly highlight of New York (or American) programming, the Museum of the Moving Image’s First Look will return on March 13 with an opening-night screening of Astrid Rondero and Fernanda Valadez’s Sujo, close on March 17 with Bill and Turner Ross’ Gasoline Rainbow, and in the intervening days combine programming of recent cutting-edge highlights with in-person talks and seminars.
First Look’s fixture “Working on It” will run between March 13 and 15, offering “a laboratory for works in progress and dialogues about process, bringing together festival guests, filmmakers, students, writers, and the general public.” Meanwhile, writers and editors from Reverse Shot “will continue discussions begun in last year’s Emerging Critics Workshop throughout the festival.”
So says MoMI’s Curator of Film Eric Hynes:
“Now in its 13th year, First Look has carved out a unique, and we think essential, place in New York’s film and cultural landscape.

In sibling directors Bill and Turner Ross’ new movie “Gasoline Rainbow,” a group of five teenagers embark on a hectic, sweltering roadtrip from rural Oregan to the Pacific Coast. Over the course of that evocative journey, they get lost, get stoned, make a lot of friends, and swap many stories. Eschewing plot for the unbridled energy of untethered youth, “Gasoline Rainbow” might strike newcomers to the Ross brothers as a pure documentary exercise, the kind of absorbing cinema vérité endeavor in which cameras follow every unscripted move.
However, this is a Ross brothers movie, and defies such labels by design. For over a decade, these innovative filmmakers haven’t troubled the barriers between fiction and non-fiction so much as they have tried to ignore them entirely — and with this one, they’re ready to move past scrutiny of that process for good.
“We are desperate not to have this fucking conversation ever again,...
