Powerless is a story about a hero that has lost his powers and is keeping it a secret from his loved ones and the people of the city. 

Set in the 1950’s, Powerless follows Commander Comet, an invincible superhero and New York City’s sole protector. Unbeknownst to the people that rely on him,
Commander Comet’s powers have completely faded away.

The Commander will go to great lengths to keep his vulnerability a secret when he is called to stop a deadly hostage situation at the national bank.

With the world watching, Commander Comet will need to sneak, act and bluff to save the hostages, apprehend three armed gunman and keep his reputation intact.

PJ Donahoe is a first time director, finishing up his studies at the University of Cincinnati. While this film is his directorial debut he is no stranger to the intricacies of production and telling moving stories.

PJ was inspired by the golden age of superhero films to turn his passion into a lucrative career. He is a Cincinnati native with over 5 years of production experience under his belt and has arguably spent far too much time rewatching black-and-white episodes of superman and Christopher Reeve's Superman films.
