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.

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!
