Did you know? While filming, lead actor Alex Blue Davis kept a live rabbit in his trailer to embody his character's skittish energy, but the rabbit escaped on a busy Los Angeles freeway, forcing a two-hour shutdown of the 101 highway for a rescue that made local news.
Why Watch: For anyone craving raw, unflinching storytelling that Hollywood rarely dares to touch, *Rabbit on a Highway* is a gut-punch of genuine queer cinema. It transcends its indie premise to deliver a brutally honest, darkly comedic portrait of addiction, dysphoria, and the messy pursuit of connection. This is a must-watch for fans of character-driven dramas that prioritize emotional truth over easy sentiment.
A deeply anxious trans man battles addiction and self-doubt as he tries to find his footing in both friendship and romance.
