CASH COW (99min)
In the Fall of 2020, a financially struggling actor camps and explores early Mormon historical sites as he anxiously awaits national broadcast for his Domino’s Pizza commercial.

[comedy, essay film, diy documentary, hybrid, feature]

Self-funded and shot alone over 30 days during the COVID pandemic, the Slamdance 2023 low budget comedy blends documentary and narrative, resulting in a deadpan comedy through one man's lens.

**Cash Cow premiered at the 2023 Slamdance Film Festival**
(past screenings include Roxy Cinema NYC, BrainDead Studios LA, Deeper Into Movies London, and a performance with live score & live narration)
