AMERICANO

Do What Scares You.

AMERICANO is set against the backdrop of the country’s centuries-old Fiesta de San Fermín, better known as The Running of the Bulls at Pamplona. Chris McKinley (Joshua Jackson), a recent college graduate backpacking through Europe, savors his last three days of freedom before boarding the career fast track back in the States.  In Pamplona for The Running of the Bulls with his best friend, Ryan (Timm Sharp), and Ryan’s girlfriend Michelle (Ruthanna Hopper), Chris meets a quintessential Spanish beauty Adela (Leonor Varela) and an enigmatic provocateur Riccardo (Dennis Hopper), both of whom encourage him to rethink his life.  As the minutes and seconds until his departure tick away, Chris struggles with an age-old question – should he follow the beaten path, or risk it all on the road less traveled?
