A woman meets her ideal man who she doesn't know is gay. He is naked on the Brooklyn Bridge ready to take his life. He doesn't end up doing so and the two take a road trip and help each other through their troubles and issues. "Finding North" is an offbeat love story between two people from completely different worlds. It's about finding what you need, even from places you don't expect.

There’s a decided aura of contrivance in the way Wexler sets up her story, but it gets better and better as it goes along, with Makkena at last able to break through her stereotyped role. Go to Full Review Xan Brooks Independent (UK) 07/13/2023

A carousel of quirky characters, kooky misunderstandings and cute philosophising. Go to Full Review Lisa Kennedy Out Magazine 05/25/2022
In the end, Finding North is not unlike its heroine: big-hearted and unbelievably flawed. Go to Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com 08/13/2011

02/12/2008 Cute, funny, sad - a good film for when you have nothing else to do. See more 02/09/2008 A) It's like watching an hour-and-a-half-long short on AtomFilms. B) Turns out that "PS: I Love You" is a remake. See more 08/26/2007 Well done! A love story with a twist. Acting was great. One of the best movies I have seen! See more 07/26/2007 fiercely independent film about a gay man and a crazy woman exploring the nature of human relations in Denton. Yeah, its in Denton, but that doesn't make it much better. There are some touching moments, but its a bit overacted and canned. All the Texans are kind of one dimensional. See more 06/04/2007 Interesting film. Honestly bought it to see why the man was naked. Had a somewhat funny story line. See more 12/10/2006 Waste of TIME!! Very Weak movie, DO NOT WATCH, if you do end up watching it, side effects may include: Suicide, murder ramapages, road ramapage, any kinds of ways of harming yourself, and many others...
