After the completion of Stephen’s sophomore picture, the experimental horror film “Massage The Tape”, he set his sights on an different format of visual storytelling; Theatre. Locked down during Covid-19 like so many other lost souls, he dug out of his drawer an unfinished (and at the time untitled) play. After fleshing out the characters more, what later became The Long Road Home, 45 pages long. A simple chamber piece at its heart, its centers on both beautiful and tragic working-class people, the sort of complex characters Stephen knows how to masterfully capture without judgement. Taking place entirely in a rundown pub on a lonely stretch of road in New Jersey over the span of a night. The story concerns two strangers meeting on New Year’s Eve, a bar regular named Bill, a dead beat alcoholic father that abandoned his son, and the younger Colin, an out-of-towner, that wanders into the bar searching for someone. With no one to talk to, Colin and Bill strike up a conversation. The more they drink, the more they bond, and the more it becomes clear their meeting may not be by chance. We’re proud to present this single-location suspense thriller featuring the sort of derelicts, drifters, and outsiders McCoy became known for.
