LOS ANGELES, CA, UNITED STATES, April 21, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Freestyle Digital Media, the digital film distribution division of Byron Allen’s Allen Media Group, has just released the romantic road trip dramedy JAUNT, which will be available to rent/own worldwide on digital HD internet, cable, DVD and satellite platforms April 21, 2026. JAUNT presents the feature film acting debut of Montana Newsom, daughter of California Governor Gavin Newsom.

JAUNT tells the story of a fleeting encounter in Los Angeles. Paul, a washed-up and manic-depressive photographer, and Madeline, a vivacious Parisian free spirit, find themselves entangled in more than just a one-night stand. Their unexpected connection propels them on a road trip to San Francisco. Each mile along the scenic California coast draws them closer in ways they hadn’t anticipated. As the landscapes shift from the bustling city to serene coastal towns, their relationship deepens, revealing vulnerabilities, regrets, and dreams. But beneath the laughter and shared moments, a storm is brewing. Paul harbors a secret about the true purpose of their journey: a revelation he fears could shatter their bond. With every passing mile, the weight of the untold truth looms larger, threatening to unravel the magic of their spontaneous adventure. When Madeline discovers Paul’s hidden agenda, she also reveals parts of her past, uniting them in a new and unexpected way.

Written by JR Rappaport and directed by Alexi Papalexopoulos, JAUNT was produced by Alexi Papalexopoulos, Arianna Papalexopoulos, and Meghan Weinstein. Featured actors include Blake Worrell (‘Paul’), Emanuela Boisbouvier (‘Madeline’) and Montana Newsom (‘Talia’).

“JAUNT began as an exploration of escape. The kind we chase through other people, new places, or fleeting moments that feel more alive than our own lives,” said filmmaker Alexi Papalexopoulos. “JAUNT follows two strangers who meet at the right time for all the wrong reasons, and discover that no matter how far you go, you can’t outrun the parts of yourself you’re trying to leave behind.”

Freestyle Digital Media negotiated a deal to acquire JAUNT directly with the filmmakers.
