Point & Shoot

ABOUT

The award-winning film POINT AND SHOOT tells the story of Matthew VanDyke, a timid 26-year-old, who left home in Baltimore in 2006 and set off on a self-described “crash course in manhood.” He bought a motorcycle and a video camera and began a multi-year, 35,000-mile motorcycle trip through Northern Africa and the Middle East. Oscar winning filmmaker Marshall Curry tells this harrowing story of a young man’s search for political revolution and personal transformation.
