Experiencing Interruptions?

Mercy

Mercy loves few things, after living for hundreds of years, having fine tuned it down to Captain Kirk, Whiskey and being left alone. Star Trek and some of Kentucky’s finest keeps her sane for the most part.

Every year though, one Christian week out of every 13 moons, she searches for the end of her existence but she runs into a snag when she meets Viktor, the super of her building who also seems to be carrying his own secrets.

Viktor’s strange demeanor wears Mercy down as she realizes that she has been wasting too many years on feeling sorry for herself and realizes she needs to find solace in a new path. Will Viktor join her?

Mercy is a dark comedy starring Danielle Pollari and Vince Groulx.

Director Statement

COVID really screwed up the release of this film. It's quite sad, I guess we'll just release it as every festival who took it, cancelled. I love this film.

I think this film has legs and I'm proud we did it for the budget we had. A lot of time was spent on this, enjoy it and have an open mind.
