"Out and About" is an unconventional tale about a middle-aged man trying to come to terms with his life over the course of an afternoon walk through his hometown. Distinctive in both style and substance and told virtually in real time, the story weaves together the protagonist's inner monologue with conversations he has with the people he encounters along the way. Raw, brutally honest, poignant and funny, "Out and About" explores the contrast between our inner and outer selves, the conflict between old dreams and new realities, and one man's search for meaning as he wrestles with aging, success and failure in America, and his ultimate place in the world.

Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews Pleasing but plotless vanity project. Rated: B- May 24, 2023 Full Review Tony Asankomah GhMovieFreak Callahan's script delves into the contradictions and imperfections of everyday life, exploring the dichotomy between our internal thoughts and the image we project to the outside world. Rated: 7/10 May 17, 2023 Full Review Gerald Peary Arts Fuse I commend Callahan for having the guts to enthrall an audience with a virtually plotless movie. May 12, 2023 Full Review Robin Clifford Reeling Reviews The writer-director-actor-star is not a household name for most of us, but his assured hold on the helm and his character’s interesting reflections on life make me want to see more – both in front of and behind the screen. Rated: A- May 11, 2023 Full Review Josh Bell Crooked Marquee Spending 83 minutes in this dude's head is an insufferable experience, and the people around him aren't much more tolerable. Rated: D May 10, 2023 Full Review Laura Clifford Reeling Reviews Now here is a little movie that deserves a big audience. This winner of three regional U.S. film festivals takes the simple premise of a walk in real time and turns it into a rumination on life…a must see gem. Rated: A- May 7, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

Rick L We watch hundreds of movies every year and for 2023 this is among our favorites. The writing and acting are superb and the lead character's stroll through his neighborhood is really a revisitation of his life. The interplay between what he says to those he encounters while on his walk and what we hear him thinking about those same characters provides some marvelous insights into human nature. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/28/23 Full Review sean o It was very easy to identify with him and the other characters. Very honest and accurate Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/07/23 Full Review Tim C Great Location and cinematography. Funny and honest throughout. Made me reflect on my life and times growing up and now into adulthood. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/28/23 Full Review Read all reviews
