The system is big.
The human spirit
is bigger.
Schlepp Films is the entertainment home of filmmaker Chris McGuire. The thread running through it all: ordinary people up against extraordinary obstacles, and the possibility of getting beyond them.
Sometimes that’s a punchline. Sometimes it’s a story that stays with you. There’s room here for irreverence, rebellion, and a little hope.
