Midwest skidmark

Written and Directed by Phillip Arthur Dixon

2024

Two friends reunite for “one last fiesta” before one of them heads off to medical school. Their chaotic journey lures them from the Paris of the Plains to the edge of The Sticks. Their friendship is put to the test through delinquent adversity and held together by the jokes you can only make with your best friends.

Phillip Arthur Dixon's directorial debut is a satire about the idiosyncrasies of living in a flatland of highs and lows. It’s a film made in the Midwest, for the Midwest.
