In Search Of is a 2008 drama film written and directed by Zeke Zelker and produced by the company Independent Dream Machine.
In Search Of is an unconventional drama where a wrong decision will force good people into bad circumstances while desire changes everything. The film follows ten characters that use sex as a way to get something out of life. Dave (played by Jack Barley) starts a business only so that he can afford the lifestyle that his girlfriend is accustomed to. Lauren is cheating on her husband with her soul mate, while Lauren's son Jack (Michael Rady) uses his wealth to manipulate those who love him. Andy (played by Keith Nobbs), is a high school football player who falls prey to peer pressure from teammates which forces him to deal with his own sexual desires.
Shot in Allentown, Pennsylvania, and the Lehigh Valley over the course of a year on 35mm and S16mm film, the production used various cameras including a Krasnogorsk hand-cranked camera, achieving all optical effects during production.
InSearchOf was the first film to play in another reality when it screened in Second Life in 2008.
The film screened nationally and in London at "Power to the Pixel" during the London Film Festival as one of the two winners of the From Here to Awesome Film Festival. Its theatrical premiere was held in Allentown, Pennsylvania on November 7, 2008 and grossed $12,608 at that screening and went on to earn a modest six figure sum. The film is currently distributed across various platforms, on Hulu it was in the top 20 dramas viewed all time for over seven years.
