About “Along the Way” a short film by Garrett King
Along the Way documents and follows the lives of four filmmakers and photographers as they venture through Norway, discovering the country’s breathtaking landscapes while rediscovering life’s purpose and moments that matter.
A story of friendship that brings to light conversations around vulnerability, connection and finding balance. Along the Way poses the question “are we doing enough?”, while finding answers through deep conversation about fulfillment and leaning on the relationships that matter most.
