SYNOPSIS

When everything falls apart, Jess wakes up broke, jobless, and starving. Desperate times call for desperate measures, but her survival scheme quickly goes from bad to worse in this dark comedy about what happens when you've got nothing to eat and nothing left to lose.

Meet the Team

This passion project is being brought to life by a dedicated team of filmmakers and artists who believe in the power of independent storytelling.

Led by director Ben Whimpey and writer/lead Sarah Coltraine, the production features a small but talented crew supporting this creative vision.
