Trivia
The film was shot in two sections: one in the summer, and another in the fall. This was done to allow for the natural change of seasons, and to give the actors time to weather their appearance.

Goofs
While sitting in front of a post office clearly in Hot Springs, NC, the hikers say they have 600 miles to go. Hot Springs is under 300 miles from Springer.

Southbounders has captured my heart!

I am not an outdoorsy type of person. Nor am I particularly interested in nature, hiking or athleticism. But I looked up long enough from old re-runs of Dr. 90210 to catch this quietly beautiful film. It really captures the loneliness and beauty that people tell me exists outdoors. This is a realistic take on young romance and is a fantastic coming of age story. The acting is superb and the soundtrack is perfection. Any under-achieving over-achiever will be drawn into this realistic portrayal of a lost but yet ambitious young woman hoping to find herself. How anyone could sleep in the outdoors for six months is beyond me, but it was fascinating to learn about this aspect of a sub-culture. Southbounders, I think I love you!
