One group of college students is embarking on an international adventure to find themselves, framed by a filmmaker at odds with his own past. Theyre leaving behind the comforts of their lives in the United States to spend five weeks as foreigners studying abroad throughout Italy. While some are seasoned travelers, others have never stepped out of their state lines, let alone the country.

There’s Leslie, an undeclared sophomore, who has never traveled alone or abroad and has no idea what to do with her life. While Leslie may be starting up her college career, Ansley is winding it down, completing her final two courses here before starting work in the fall. Matt, a first time world traveler and agnostic, is leaving home and his girlfriend behind, while John, a devout Catholic who struggles with a modern romance, is reconciling his place in a world at odds with his religious beliefs. Together, these four young adults, mired between the age of innocent youth and adult responsibility, are discovering a destination that Henry Miller described as ‘…never a place, but a new way of seeing things.’

JamesWorks Entertainment presents Di Passaggio, a Professor Pauper production, directed by James Kicklighter (That Guy: the Legacy of Dub Taylor), based on the journals of Preston Johnson and Scott Singleton, featuring Leslie Beard, Ansley Brackett, John DiPietro, and Matthew Kines. J. Michael Moncrief (The Legend of Bagger Vance) is the narrator. The producers are Kicklighter and Mark Ezra Stokes. The executive producer is Brian Holt. The consulting producer is Michael Cardillo. The associate producers are Jonathan Pope and Gareth Jones. The original score is from Bruce Kiesling.

Short video entry for UCI’s Center for International Education video contest in response to the question: “Why study abroad?”

NOTE: All images and video used were from my actual experiences abroad throughout the South Pacific, Europe, and South America over the past 3 years. Only about half a dozen of these pictures were from the cameras of friends that were in the same programs abroad with me and from my sister’s trip abroad.
