Boatdreams

Tom Marcoux's Feature Film that went to the Cannes Film Festival market. (images below)

Boatdreams is an uplifting motion picture of delightful comedy, heartwarming moments, and exciting chases in cars, jet skis, and planes.

Description: Vietnam veteran John meets energetic martial artist Son in San Francisco in 1986 -- and a wild adventure begins. Son routinely dodges missiles with mid-air somersaults and leaps from racing cars to speeding trucks, while his flying kicks send bad guys falling like bowling pins.

Son's zest for living rubs off on John, helping him overcome his haunting Vietnam flashbacks of helicopters, guns, and death. Renewed, John wins the love of sexy pop singer Anne, as she purrs the song "Come Get My Love." With Anne's love and Son's friendship, John pulls his life together to create a home for his young half-Vietnamese daughter. Along the way, Son's Grandpa accidentally crashes a police car, throwing clouds over their immigration hearing. Son needs help to stay in America -- and John comes through!
