Not If I See You First

The perfect absurdist laugh riot for our surreal times!
- Patrick McDonald, HollywoodChicago.com/WBGR-FM/WSSR-FM

Insanely weird and incredibly funny...
I felt so on the edge of my seat with the tension in every moment.
- Allison Torem (director, Road Head)

I laughed my ass off. The performances are stellar across the board.
- Michael Glover Smith (director, Relative)

Not If I See You First is my third feature film, an absurd comedy about fast friends hanging dangerously close to the edge.

Synopsis

In town for work, Kenny meets Aaron, who convinces him to extend his trip a few days to check out the famous sights of Chicago. But when Kenny's car explodes and Aaron gets selective amnesia, will their fledgling friendship lose its way?
