YOUR RATING
Small Fish Small Pond (2013)
For big talking and alcohol-fueled writer Eagle Thorenton, success was the only option - no matter the risk. Then one morning when he washed up behind Pals Bar after a drunken stupor, his unpublished novel became a best seller. Now everyone wants to know what happened to this sometime likable and always drunken rogue. His story unfolds from those who knew him best - his wife, agent, and fellow bar hounds. Absurd Productions Pictures drinking drama crashes the bars and dives of a small fishing village to meet the guy who lived as a nobody, but died a legend. For more nights than the boaters crossing Birnam Channel even realize, the still breeze off the bay has been broken by the sound of drunken chatter. To big talking yet idle writer Eagle Thorenton, simply getting by was small time. Success - his only option, no matter the risk. So when he washed up on-shore behind Pals Bar after a drunken stupor and his unpublished novel became a best seller, no one was shocked. He had prepped his audience well. Now everyone wants to know - what really happened to Eagle? Who was this almost likable and always drunken rogue? When a reporter gets an advance to scoop his life story, former cohorts are none too happy to lay judgment. Along the way, stumble past bar flies and bar hounds who seek top shelf liquor for self-actualization. Absurd Productions Pictures inventive drinking drama crashes the bars and dives of a fishing village along the bay to explore the romantic lore of an alcoholic writer who lived as a nobody, but died a legend. This drinking drama follows a line of classic films from The Lost Weekend to Ironweed, Barfly, Trees Lounge, and the Days of Wine and Roses exploring the motives and motivation of the insanely drunk.
