Searchers 2.0 is a 2007 road film directed by Alex Cox. It stars Del Zamora and Ed Pansullo.[1] Described by Cox as a "microfeature," it was shot on digital video in 10 days for a budget of $180,000. Lacking distribution, it featured a very limited theatrical run of one-night showings at various theaters throughout 2007 and 2008, followed by its premier on BBC in the UK, and eventual DVD release in Japan and North America. It is a significant movie in Cox's career as it marks his first comedy and his first feature-length original screenplay to be produced since Straight to Hell, 20 years prior.[original research?]
