About this project

This project is almost finished!  We only need financing to reshoot the final scene of the film, cut it into the movie, and then complete all post production "finishing" activities (such as: a DIGITAL INTERMEDIATE, FILM CONVERSIONS and LICENSING).  We are so close to complete, yet financially, still so far.

The film is a dark comedy that is sure to make you laugh, cry and reflect on your personal life's journey.  No matter your goals in life, we're sure you will relate to struggles of our protagonist and be inspired to keep going when life knocks you down.  In the end we believe you will feel a great sense of hope.  

The film is about a failed filmmaker who was fortunate enough to have three of his films financed, only to have none of them earn a dime.  Each time he failed, he dusted himself off and got back on the horse.  He always believed in his artistic works and his ability as a filmmaker.  Yet, as time marched on, his quest for success became more and more elusive and his failures more and more prevalent, he looked into the mirror and decided that all of his time and efforts had amounted to nothing.  In his mind his life had become nothing more than a series of failed relationships and long periods of darkness that, sadly, many true artists endure.   

So he decides to kill himself.  He believes it's the only way to bring attention to the films he's already made.  In death, he hopes to finally bring a financial reward to his countless backers and believers in his talent.  The problem is, he knows his death is sure to disappoint and hurt the same people he's trying to repay.  So, he decides make it look like an accident.  He chooses to drink himself to death and agrees to let a film crew follow him to document his tortured last days, one hard drink at a time, until it's over. 

The problem is, he didn't realize how much fun he would have along the way!  

Our film follows his wild journey.
