A beautiful, sexy DJ is forced on the run when she stumbles on a bag of cash. Can she keep the money, conquer her demons, andget the girl?
There were a thousand times during that campaign when it seemed completely impossible but we did it. We were the second most successful feature film Pozible campaign ever.
It’s just a wonderful medium for all the senses. The actors and dialogue, cinematography and sound design…then the music score all combine in a beautiful way to transport the audience to another reality.
