Via Negativa
After the death of his estranged friend, a young priest abandons his diocese and sets out on a restless pilgrimage across America. With a wounded coyote as his unlikely companion, he confronts strangers, his faith, and the priest who once abused his friend. Via Negativa is both a road story and a spiritual reckoning, exploring grief, guilt, and the fragile hope of redemption.
Produced by Complementary Colors. Executive Produced by Samantha Quan (Anora). Featuring Young Mazino (Beef) as Father Dan, with an ensemble including Zoe Winters, Keith Kupferer, Mimi Ryder, Jee Young Han, Mamadou Athie, Tony Hale and Stanley Simons.
