“An immensely enjoyable, understated adventure... captivating from start to finish, sincere and honest.”

Rebecca Cherry, Film Carnage

A chance encounter...

...between estranged friends Kevin and Dani leads to an unexpected day-long adventure through New York City as they attempt to return a dead self-help guru's lost wallet.

Their journey – through litigious heirs, suspiciously bad poetry, and a mysterious watch – forces them to confront unresolved feelings and life-changing decisions.

“At a time when many comedies rely on familiar formulas, ‘Souvenir’ feels refreshingly original. It is funny, thoughtful and filled with memorable performances.”

R.C. Samo, Fanboy Nation
