LOGLINE: When a home invasion derails a strained father-son dinner, a risk-averse dad and a disillusioned teen are forced to reckon with what it means to chase, or abandon, your dreams.

SHOOT THE MOON is a dark martial arts/crime comedy short film that examines social expectations, fear of failure, the pursuit of stability, the importance of purpose, and the meaning of success via one simple, universal question: 

What happens when we give up on our dreams? 

SHOOT THE MOON is defined as:

1. A classic yo-yo trick;
2. To achieve the greatest success, no matter how improbable or risky.

This film is for young me who grew up with Jackie Chan movies, yo-yos, and boundless imagination. This film is a reminder to never let go of the things that bring you joy. This film is for the dreamers, the doers, and the ones who would risk it all or die trying.

Supporting contributions to SHOOT THE MOON are tax deductible to the extent of the law.
