"Viewers who can tune their mental dials to Araki's wavelength are likely to marvel at his ability to pile on the excess with hair-raising exuberance, then extract from the rubble images of startling beauty and nuggets of genuine feeling."— Bob Satuloff, The Advocate

"Watching Nowhere feels like taking MDMA; the bright colors and strobing lights, the urgent press of bodies, the intense emotions."— Jas Keimig, The Stranger

"It is the cinematic equivalent of shoegaze music; dreamy and disorienting in equal measure, evincing a disquieting sensuality filled with stark close-ups, disconcerting angles and fractured editing."— D.M. Palmer, Vague Visages

Set in Los Angeles, a colorful assortment of bohemians try to make sense of their intersecting lives. The moody Dark Smith (James Duval), his bisexual girlfriend (Rachel True), her lesbian lover (Kathleen Robertson) and their shy gay friend (Nathan Bexton) plan on attending the wildest party of the year. But they'll only make it if they can survive the drug trips, suicides, trysts, rapes, mutilations and alien abductions that occur as one surreal day unfolds.
