A Far Off Place (1993)

It is 1993, the start of a big year for Amblin Entertainment. But on our way to JURASSIC PARK, we got a bit lost and ended up in A FAR OFF PLACE - the directorial debut of ALWAYS cinematographer Mikael Salomon and one of the earliest roles for future Oscar-winner Reese Witherspoon. Released by Walt Disney Pictures, the coming of age adventure drama has fallen into obscurity, forgotten by most including, seemingly, Disney themselves. We dig into why that might be, all the while reflecting on where Amblin is at this juncture, while Josh reflects on his past as a high jumper. Join us for the journey won’t you?
