Director Statement

Howdy!
This is a satirical genre-bending thriller that will make you laugh at America's most taboo subject, gun control. Then like good satire it will make you feel sick about laughing. The conversation around guns is a circle of ineptitude and inaction. Tragedy, outrage, prayers, then indifference. It’s a vicious cycle. It’s difficult not to feel hopeless or become completely cynical in the face of it. When greed drives mass murder and there seems no end in sight what more can you do than laugh at the hellish stew in which you sit. Maybe someone will finally do something about it...
Thank you for your time and consideration!
Sincerely,
C.Haines
