While You Weren't Looking

 
Written/Directed by Jeremy Mackie
Produced by Cheryl Cowen



 

While You Weren't Looking takes the essence of a grand swashbuckling adventure and miniaturizes it to 5-year-old size. While out on a trip to a grocery store, an overprotected young boy steals away from his Mom on a shopping cart, stirs up trouble scooting down the aisles, and ends up over his head in a drag race with the local hot-rodder of the store.

The film combines action-packed sequences from art-house films like Run Lola Run with the kid-friendly adventurism of films like The Goonies and Catch that Kid. It's the first narrative piece from filmmaker Jeremy Mackie, who directed the Seattle city film Grey Linings.

Donate to an indie kids action adventure film, make art, make fun.
