Traveling Light takes place in Los Angeles during the early days of the pandemic. The film tells the story of Uber/delivery driver Caddy (Tony Todd) over a twenty four hour period on May 30th 2020 as he searches for his missing son who has been living on the streets. Caddy crosses paths with Harry (Danny Huston), a cult leader who is holding a bizarre happening/ceremony up on Mulholland Drive where Todd (Stephen Dorff) and Mary (Olivia d'Abo) are attending as acolytes. All the while news of the horrific murder of George Floyd reverberates around the city as the social fabric collapses and we realize we are witnessing the end of an era...

Annie Flores

Austin Chronicle

The film successfully evokes all the hair-raising tension of a time not too far behind us, and creates a commentary on class, race, and societal values that continue to resonate nearly three years on.

Rated: 3.5/5

Traveling Light continues Rose’s ongoing efforts to create haunting miniatures about life in Los Angeles with a classical twist.

Rene Rodriguez

Variety

An experimental attempt at social commentary that fails to provide any insight, emotion or even entertainment of the most basic kind.

It’s the kind of oddly noncommercial drama usually made by first-time filmmakers with few resources, maximizing their hometown and the actors they know personally for all they’re worth.

One of the many unfortunate effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the entertainment industry is that it's spawned a lot of awful movies with a COVID-19 theme. Traveling Light is one of these cinematic abominations. It's utterly incoherent and pointless.
