DEALBREAKER
Draven Hawk is a young man that struggles with several mental handicaps while considering suicide and as badly as he wants to he is afraid to end it. By chance though he meets a demon by the name of Forneus, that is willing to give him an easy way out in exchange for a good 7 days of getting what he wants out of life. But when Draven discovers how much better life really can be with his handicaps lifted will he still want to end it?

Illinois native, Dustin Hawkins, started working in broadcasting back in 2002 at what is now the Missouri University of Science and Technology in Rolla, MO. When he moved to Columbia, MO several years later, he began to branch out, and soon was certified in film and studio productions at the Broadcast Center in St. Louis, MO. He enjoys all aspects of film production (videography, editing, visual special-effects, directing, writing and acting) as well as still photography. Steampunk web series, music videos, indie short films and other various projects. He stays diligent in his field and continues to move towards larger projects as time progresses.
This film was a lot more difficult to make than others. We had to follow social distancing restrictions and it made it more difficult to organize people and keep the crew and actors safe. I was amazed we were able to pull it off. I hope this one does well despite all the restrictions we had to deal with. It definitely makes filmmaking a whole lot harder. But we love it so much we can't stop.
