Info about my new movie:
Synopsis:
Co-written and produced by former Huffington Post journalist Ricky Camilleri, it's a 90 minute dark comedy that tackles every toxic American subject under the sun; gun culture, masculinity, social media, school shootings, loneliness, class, performative activism, all told with a dirtbag sense of humor that is starting to feel like the only honest way to approach our dying empire.
