Overview

A surreal and gag-driven comedy about an ordinary man named AJ, who enjoys a simple life in the midwestern haven of Fargo, North Dakota. When his favorite dog park is taken away, it begins a chain reaction that completely upends his existence and sends him on an unforgettable odyssey to fight, fish, scrap, scrape and sap things back into place.

Fantastic Fest 2024

“A downright loony indie comedy bursting with imaginative genius”

Chris Sawin

Bounding into Comics

“Every frame feels like a labor of love, created by friends who genuinely enjoy making each other laugh. The rapid-fire jokes, sight gags, and wacky situations keep the laughs coming at an exhausting pace, but it never loses sight of its emotional core.”

Stephanie Malone

Morbidly Beautiful

“A downright silly, idiosyncratic, low budget midnight movie that delivers a good dose of offbeat humor”
