It portrays the storytelling process that is presented in the Paulsen paintings. Godlewski, who is an avid painter himself, shows the deep thoughts of a process while sharing a simple and casual cup of coffee. http://maciekgodlewski.com/
Another compelling Indie because of its layered approach to comedy will be the full feature, GET A JOB.

The blending of island musicians throughout the cinematic journey platforms director Brian Kohne as a new talent to watch. Willie K and Eric Gilliom as the leads do not disappoint.
