The Buyout is now online!

August 16, 2015 By Dan Finnen

The short film I wrote and directed is now online for your viewing pleasure! The Buyout explores the limits of friendship in the face of a financial windfall of unimaginable proportions. At a two-man software startup, one man’s loyalty to his co-owner is put to the ultimate test when Google offers to buy out his company… if he manages to kill his business partner before the end of the day.

You can watch the short below or at its official site. Thanks to the amazing cast and crew for all your hard work in making this goofy little movie!
