Multi-Level Man: A Dark Comedy
Still from Multi-Level Man: a disheveled man in a rumpled suit, one hand gripping his hair, staring at his phone.
Production Still

Over the course of one feverish day, a delusional insurance salesman trapped in a multi-level-marketing scheme desperately tries to better his life for himself and his girlfriend, only for it to blow up in his face. He embarks on an odyssey across an indifferent and unforgiving Los Angeles to make it right.

The Pitch

What we're making

  • A SAG-AFTRA signatory feature, produced under the Micro-Budget Project Agreement

  • Made for festival audiences first. Distribution follows the work, not the other way around.

Why it's worth backing

  • Low overhead, no waste; every dollar goes to the screen
  • A completed feature film, premiering in Hollywood
  • Independent, artist-forward filmmaking, made by people with a subversive vision for the future of independent cinema
