Jerry Reid is having the worst week of his life. He’s broke, behind on rent, owes money to the wrong people, and to top it off — he’s a hypochondriac convinced something else is going to go wrong. But just when things hit rock bottom… he meets her. Could this mysterious woman be the spark Jerry needs to turn his life around? Or will his past catch up with him first? Enter an unlikely twist of fate — a kind old woman hands Jerry an apple, and when he eats it, something changes. Strength. Confidence. Maybe even a shot at happiness. But can he fight off the bad guys, win the girl, and finally break free? A gritty, quirky, and surprisingly uplifting tale of redemption, romance, and rope. 🎬 Made in just 48 hours for New Zealand’s wildest guerrilla filmmaking challenge — 48HOURS! Teams across the country are given a random genre and must write, shoot, edit, and score their entire film in a single weekend. 🪢 Compulsory Elements: Character: Jerry Reid, a hypochondriac Prop: A rope Line of Dialogue: "What do you call that?"
