Abstract:
"Losers Take All is an independently produced, music comedy about a fictional indie/punk band called “The Fingers.” The picture is set in the mid-1980s and serves as a cinematic love
letter to a period of music referred to as American Indie Underground. I served as a producer and a screenwriter on Losers Take All, which was presented by iconic indie filmmaker Kevin Smith and received a day-and-date release on October 25, 2013 by Phase 4 Films. It is my first feature film to be purchased for distribution. In the end, the other filmmakers and I not only made a lowbudget, independent, historical period film, but we also created a band, and produced eleven original songs for the project. This thesis is about the process of making Losers Take All and serves as a guide for other filmmakers looking for insight into how to develop and produce their first feature film." --Abstract
