Chicago – There’s been a mix-up. Distraught couple Jakob and Helene were not expecting to host a kid for the local tennis tournament this year, and yet James has mistakenly shown up anyway. Mourning the loss of their son, the couple suddenly begins to relive their past as the tennis star engages in a charade that threatens to culminate in certain disaster.
Such is the set-up for “Teddy Boy,” an enticing Colorado noir that will mark the feature directorial debut of Sean J.S. Jourdan. After earning his Mfa at Columbia College Chicago, Jourdan relocated to Denver, Colorado, where he now lives with his wife and nine-month-old daughter. With his project currently in preproduction, Jourdan has organized a funding campaign on Kickstarter.com. Hollywood Chicago spoke with Jourdan about his vision for the project, his experience with the Kickstarter site and the various obstacles facing modern independent filmmakers.
