This movie is an alarm, red lights flashing, emergency presidential texts blowing up your phone. Please listen. Yes, we are telling tons of jokes, but we are not kidding. It's time to stand up, speak the truth and be brave. Now, when it's terrifying, when it's hard, when the stakes are life and death. We make art, we funny people, believing it can make a change. Can pens, paint brushes, actors and cameras stand up against the growing swell?

I wrote WINNING during the 2016 presidential election campaigns, wanting to explore a wild flight of the imagination:  what might be the motivations of a mad man in perusing power and what might happen if he actually got it...

We were fortunate to draw top artists who produced stellar work and created an amazing movie. We're so proud and delighted... We pulled it off and we couldn't be happier with the result. Our cast and crew worked arduously and diligently in total dedication, with blind faith and trust in each other. Seeing the story transform from a blank page when I started writing to a film rich with creativity and bursting with talent was the most gratifying artistic experience of my life.

We made WINNING like bandits. I mean, it was easy really, just rolled up our sleeves, maxed out our credit cards, gave up sleep for months, lost 10 pounds because who needs to eat. And voila! We made a movie. A little crazy. We like crazy. We got it done. We are humbled by the many people who helped make this movie, packed full of stellar performances in front of and behind the camera. Our crew of twenty five and cast of seven. What a fragile wonder it is to realize none of this would have happened if any single person hadn't joined our pack. 

We've spent all of our own money to get WINNING this far and, straight up, we're tapped out. There is so much goodwill and interest surrounding this project, but we simply can't self-fund the final step, post production. Join the WINNING movement and make this movie with us!
