On the Road took six months to film lasting from July 11 to December 11, and it’s finally done. According to Hedlund, “It was such a journey” and he’s proud to have taken it.
“It was a guerrilla shoot with the most incredible family. Walter Selles directed it and he’s put so much work into this film over the last six or seven years. I’ve been attached since September of ‘07 trying to get this project made. Being on set during the first day like, ‘we’re fucking filming On the Road‘ to today’s the day after we just finished it. It was unfortunate to part with a family you’ve come to love so immensely on this journey.”
As you might expect with a title like On the Road, Hedlund spent a lot of the shoot traveling. They went to Montreal, Argentina, New Orleans, Arizona, Mexico, Calgary and they just wrapped in San Francisco.
On the Road is scheduled to hit theaters sometime in 2011.
