Passenger Side

Passenger Side

PASSENGER SIDE is a story about brothers, and the strange, complex bonds that are created when opposites are bound together by life, family and blood.

Michael Brown’s birthday begins with a telephone call from his estranged, drug-addicted brother, Tobey. Tobey is totally unaware that it is his older brother’s birthday, but he is very aware that his car is broken, and he begs Michael to drive him on various, apparently legitimate, vital errands. As the day wears on, it becomes clear that this drive will lead them to some very unexpected destinations.

Shot over 14 days with a bare bones budget, and a skeleton crew (six Canadians and six Americans), PASSENGER SIDE is the product of director Matt Bissonnette’s vision of making a movie that aspires to a fresh approach, a certain lack of traditional filmmaking, and a total commitment to entertaining the audience.
