Vacationland

Vacationland (2006)

Filmmaker Todd Verow revisits his own youth in this film. The film's main character is Joe, who, like the director, grew up in Bangor in Maine. Joe, an 18 year old high school senior who longs to move away from poor white trash roots and this town, and dreams of attending art school, lives with his single mother and older sister Theresa on a notorious council estate called "Capehart Projects". Molested at the age of ten, Joe nevertheless decides to keep the incident to himself. He befriends an elderly disabled artist named Victor who hires him as houseboy/model. Joe moves in with Victor in his loft above the local opera house, hoping to escape Bangor with his help. He also works part time at a local market along with his sister, who wants to get out of town as much as he does. For most of high school, Joe has also had a crush on his best friend, Andrew, who plays on the high school football team.

Production

Vacationland's script was written by Todd Verow and Jim Dwyer, and was based in part on Verow's youth growing up in Bangor. Verow also directed, produced, filmed and edited Vacationland. The film was shot digitally, without any film stock, as all of Verow's films since the 1990s. Dwyer composed the music for the film alongside Colin Owens.

The film was produced on a budget of US$8,000 and shot in Bangor. Filming took place in August 2005 with a cast of unpaid, non-union performers.
