“I’ve been looking for you for a very long time…” Nova Vento has revealed the official trailer for an indie film titled Adam the First, set for US release in limited theaters in February on Valentine’s Day. It’s the latest film from writer / director Irving Franco. The story follows Adam, who sets out on a cross-country adventure to track down a series of men who could be his estranged father, each one with a different life that could become his own. A few films have done this before. This one stars Oakes Fegley (the kid from Pete’s Dragon and Wonderstuck) as Adam, along with Larry Pine, T.R. Knight, Eric Hanson, Kim Jackson Harris, and David Duchovny. The director explains: “In making Adam the First, I set out to tell a story that was universal and timeless yet deeply personal all at once. Adam meets many kinds of people on this epic journey. Each have their own unique lives and worldviews, yet all of them share a common humanity.”

Here’s the official trailer (+ new poster) for Irving Franco’s Adam the First, direct from YouTube:
