Synopsis

Chapman Digital Motion Pictures present a powerfully enlightening drama. Written and directed by Matt Chapman, In Case of Emergency is the tale of Joe. A recovering ex-smoker who is faced with the addiction that he so badly want's to overcome. From start to finish this nightmarish film will take the viewer on a wild ride. In an effort to cure his cravings, Joe tears up the house. After the search provides him with his fire, only a break glass box can save him now. Or maybe not! In Case of Emergency puts a face on the struggles that this epic addiction can cause. Not only to Joe, but also to his relationship with his wife Heidi. Joe and Heidi have a troubled past as a result of him smoking. They find that only his commitment to quitting his addiction will save their bond. When an ex-smokers urges come to manifest, is there nothing that will stand in his way? Or perhaps Joe is just letting his sub-concious get the best of him? In Case of Emergency is a dramatic piece where nothing is as it seems. A truly enlightening story that will leave a lasting impression. The overall message of the film can best be described by Mark Twain: 'To cease smoking is the easiest thing I ever did. I ought to know because I've done it a thousand times'

Love the concept and the Mark Twain quote. Do you have a trailer? Mine is on our site www.donttalksodumb.com. Should be up on WAB in a few weeks. I really enjoy reading filmmaker's blogs. Just wonder why more trailers are not available on the site. Would like to know more about the making of your film. I find we all have something in common in one way or another.

Best of luck to you!
