TAKEN IN is a handmade feature film about a man who must spend a weekend alone with his estranged teenage daughter at a roadside resort. It is here that Simon and Brooklyn must confront the issues that have driven them apart, and ultimately choose how they will move forward...together or alone.

TAKEN IN was written and directed by personal filmmaker, Chris White. It was made entirely with cash and in-kind contributions from friends and family. The story (co-written with his wife Emily), was inspired by Chris’ theatre work with students at a therapeutic boarding school. The film is dedicated to his own teenage daughter, Gibson.

TAKEN IN was filmed at South of the Border, Dillon SC USA in the Spring of 2011.

MIKE + THE MECHANICS


This circa 1985 song by Mike + The Mechanics was not the inspiration for our film's title, though the video does hit on some of the film's thematic elements.

It might actually be cool to get these guys to play at our upcoming "speakeasy screenings." Anybody got Mike Rutherford's number?
