Synopsis:
Jack Tuller’s career as a budding San Francisco musician was altered in 1994 when he was diagnosed with a terminal condition and given six months to live. Jack Has a Plan tells the story of the following 25 years as Jack dodges one bullet after the next. How is it possible to be terminal for two decades? But Jack somehow turns his predicament into a Left Coast art-performance project complete with experimental movies, diaries, and funky dance moves. Finally, Jack engineers a graceful exit from life’s stage. But not if his family and friends have anything to say about it. San Francisco Examiner: “As joyous, thrilling and funny as any film about death could be.”
The film has screened at more than 40 film festivals across North America, earning 20 major awards, including Jury Awards for Best Feature Documentary at DOCUTAH, the DC Independent Film Festival, Mystic Film Festival, Atlanta DocuFest, and Dances With Films in Los Angeles, as well as the prestigious Impact Award at the Boulder International Film Festival.
