"Went to Coney Island on a Mission from God.... Be Back by Five"

"Went to Coney Island on a Mission from God... Be Back by Five"

Two 30-and-stuck-in-a-rut lifelong friends hear a rumor that their third best buddy from childhood, missing since high school graduation, is now crazy and homeless, living somewhere on Coney Island. They decide to play hookey from work on a cold winter's day and go looking for him amid the crumbling arcades, skeleton coasters, and strange denizens of the fabled amusement park. A funny, touching bittersweet story of friendship and loss, loyalty and nostalgia.

Winner of the Audience Awards in Oldenburg, Germany and Austin, Texas.
