Thrifty, Nimble, and Trick
Developed and filmed by Trick & Mortar, the series is both a nostalgia-charged joyride and a call to pack a bag, hit the pavement, and chase the neon glow westward.
Our production wizards made quick work of capturing the creative essence of adventure + food + hospitality + travel all in one month of filming.
“We were fortunate enough to capture the adventure by experiencing Route 66 first hand, start to finish. We loaded the cars and got on the road to try the food, find the hidden gems, explore the beauty and meet the people that make this story worth telling.”
~Maddie Nelson, Director
TOP SPOTS ON AMERICA'S LEGENDARY MOTHER ROAD

Guided by a high-energy host, each episode barrels across a new stretch of U.S. Highway 66 dropping into nostalgic diners for chili-smothered comfort food, pulling up to neon-lit motels frozen in time, and veering off for jaw-dropping natural vistas and delightfully weird roadside attractions.
