Synopsis

Dan Cox played by Joe List goes to a bodega to retrieve probiotics to counteract the antibiotics that his doctor gave him, but he starts to question the validity of the pills after these bodega employees make passionate and absurd points.

 

Meet the team

Joe List, the lead actor, is a touring comedian with over 10 million views across his two latest comedy specials on YouTube. He has been on the Joe Rogan experience several times and has done many TV appearances on late night talk shows. Joe List recently starred in a movie called, "Fourth of July" directed by Louis CK. Here is a fan favorite comedy special of his.

 


Jon Ryan Sugimoto got his start in writing and directing On-Air TV promos and YouTube comedy sketches. He went on to write and direct his first short film, "Out of Love" starring comedian Bobby Lee and winning a Golden Palm award at the Beverly Hills Film Festival. After several years of directing and editing viral music videos, Jon took to Tiktok to start creating edgy, but thought provoking comedy sketches which awarded him 50k followers and a licensing deal with Funny or Die. Now, Jon's third short film, "Full Time" is currently beginning its festival run by returning to the Beverly Hills Film Festival on April 20th, 2023. You can see more of his work on his website.

 

Born in Chinatown, NY cinematographer Ling Mai breaks traditional stereotypes of being a model and a minority. In his early days he defied many odds of trying to make it in film, he funded his own career by bouncing from minimum wage job to job in New York. Please consider supporting this film so the last ramen he will ever eat will be out of a plastic foil. Here is some of his latest work was on HBO's beanie baby documentary

Yes, we understand Jon Ryan and Ling Mai look alike. They are two different people.

What We Need & What You Get

The entire short film's budget (10k) is going to be half funded by me and half by YOU.

  • At this point making a short film is very accessible, but not entirely affordable or profitable. I need your help to get this project out into the world.
  • Half of the production costs are going to be for pre-production and half are going to be for post-production.
  • If we don't reach our goal we can still use what is donated to fund the production and find the money for post-production along the way.
  • What YOU get is a chance to go to private screenings, get mentioned in the credits or IMDb, and even receive a signed script by comedian Joe List.

The Impact

With your contribution I will be able to pay the following crew members

  • Cinematographer
  • Gaffer
  • 1st AC
