ABOUT
Message from the Director:
Inspired by Cars 2 and Designated Survivor, the film was born out of a spur of the moment decision to make a movie with my cousins and brother during a family gathering. I was in 8th grade and, before leaving for the event, I grabbed a broken tripod, some masks from old Halloween costumes, and my brother's set of crystal paperweights. On the way there, I quickly improvised a plot. The movie, which is filled with spy cliches and tropes, serves as a satirical look on the genre as well as my first step into the filmmaking world. With no cameraman and less than 15 minutes of preparation, the cast and I dove right in. We hope you enjoy the hilarious, albeit cinematographically challenged, result.

Plot:
A mysterious criminal stows away on an expensive jewel shipment to infiltrate the home of business magnate Pierre Dalton and steals Dalton's most prized diamonds from his jewelry collection. Two FBI Agents, Agent Choi, and new recruit Daniel Tran, must track down this criminal and his associates.
