Best Cop Ever

Sargent Ever is stuck in an endless limbo of violence until one day, he realizes he is not alone: An immortal man walks through his world, leaving a trail of destruction. Two different movies are starting to clash, the script itself is being challenged, and reality is crumbling. Are these two men doomed to chase each other forever, or will they rebel against the mysterious force at the end of the world?

Director Statement

From the DIY props to the self taught, one man VFX team, making BEST COP EVER was a wild zero budget adventure, fueled solely by the sheer willpower of three computer engineering students determined to make a movie that would stand out, despite all odds.
Behind every scene in this movie was sleepless nights and days on non-stop filming, the roadtrips to every location, the workshopping and against the clock preparation of sets, the endless hauling of gear, and most of all, a chaotic filmmaking adventure that bleeds into this crazy fever dream of a movie.
