Join the filmmakers for a Sneak Peek of indie feature film, LoSERS LoUNGE.

Despite their relentless failure, four aspiring screenwriters in a small town manage to sabotage their one shot at success and discover that failure can be its own reward. The film champions the underdog & celebrates the spirit of creativity, language, comradery & turns the conventional ideas of success upside down.

The film is 90 minutes in length and was shot on location in Oregon and Washington.
