It’s all about Mortimer, this odd but clever chico living his best lukewarm life in the San Fernando Valley. But Mort’s world is about to get flipped upside down!

When Mort gets some life-changing news, he decides it’s time to stop playing it safe and start living la vida loca. He’s on a mission to find meaning in his existence, and wouldn’t you know it, he stumbles upon the chica of his dreams along the way.

This movie is rated R for language and sexual content, so leave the kiddos at home for this one, compadres. It’s a 91-minute rollercoaster of emotions that’ll have you feeling all the feels. And get this – after its theatrical debut, you can catch it on VOD starting August 27. Perfect for a cozy movie night with your boo or your besties!

Behind the scenes, we’ve got Daniel Andre pulling double duty as director and writer. This hombre clearly knows how to spin a yarn that’ll keep us glued to our seats. And with a cast that includes Jay Pharoah, Rhys Coiro, and Monica Potter, you know it’s gonna be a wild ride.
