Great Lakes Film - Andy Across The Water

2002 Great Lakes Independent Film Festival

Andy Across The Water

Category: Narrative Short 30min
Director: Leo Geter

Andy Larson doesn't know it yet, but he's tired of being such a son of a bitch. He's spent 40 years bullying his family, and they've had 40 years to get used to it. But one day, while riding his horse in the mountains, Andy has a vision: The Second Coming is coming and it's coming on Thursday. Now he's got to get his family together fast. The problem is, his wife, kids and grandkids can't handle the kinder, gentler Andy. The more he says, "I love you," the more they run in the opposite direction. And when Thursday night comes and goes, it may not be the end of the world, but it just might be the end of the old Andy.
