Bobby’s (James LeGros) already not so great life is headed downhill. The Italian restaurant where he bartends shows all signs of going out of business. He still lives in a silver Airstream trailer, despite his mother leaving him a chunk of change upon her passing. And he wants to finally finish the graphic novel about his life, but just can’t get around to it. This rut of midlife is where writer-director-editor Gary Lundgren begins his independent feature Phoenix, Oregon.
