DadQuest - A Film By Neal Buconjic

[Neal Buconjic]

A Warm Comedy

When a teenager finds out that his dad isn't his biological father, he creates a website to aid the search for his real dad - with mixed results.

Luke is a typical 15 year old, navigating the choppy waters of highschool and teenhood. When he accidentally learns that his dad is not his biological father, his already confusing life turns upside down.

Luke’s mother died while he was still a toddler, his only memories of her through photographs and anecdotes from others. The news that his father is not biologically related causes Luke an overwhelming loss of identity. Who is he? Where does he come from?
In order to lay these feelings to rest, Luke determines that he MUST find his biological father. With the help of his best friend Katie, he sets out to find a man he knows nothing about.
But will this search destroy the relationship between Luke and the only father he has known?



I've been holding off starting a thread until I had a poster, but I decided I'd just make a temporary one and get this thing going.

Pics uploaded to album. The site automatically re-sized them - subsequently they're more grainy than the originals.

Thanks Joe. Good to be back!

Awesome! I read the long version. I'm interested in seeing how Sarah cut it down? Especially if my axe was used or something with more precision.

I can't wait to see it.

[Neal Buconjic]

Hey Chris.

The long ORIGINAL or the long FINAL version?
Yes, the original ran long, but it was fine tuned down to a tight 6 pages. The story was massaged and we lost any unnecessary dialogue that didn't directly move the story forward (but provided some nice moments). I am however, going to shoot an 8 page version which will be the full length cut after Quest Fest.

I'm really happy to be working with Sarah. She's been great.
