FILM QUEST (Official Short Film) (2021 #CreateLouisiana Winner)
Film Quest is an absurd comedy based on a classic “father and son” at odds story. Our main character Franky is an oddball adolescent caught between his own superhero fantasy world and the pressures to “grow up” placed on him by his overbearing father, Richard. When Franky finds out Richard is sick and can’t afford the treatments he needs, he enlists his crew of friends to enter a local film fest – competing for the prize of $100,000. It’s a race against the clock to see if Franky can save Richard’s life and finally earn his respect. (French with English Subtitles)
