In a city of 4.2 million — where nothing is safe, and everyone is a hustler — he is the most cop ever.
Babylon Bay is a city of 4.2 million people. It has a waterfront, a financial district, a fog problem, and a corruption problem. The fog is natural. The corruption, depending on who you ask, may be too.
The mayor is under investigation. The police commissioner is under a different investigation. The city council is, collectively, under a third investigation nobody is talking about yet.
Into this mess walks Captain Calhoun — twenty-seven years on the force, one jacket, no arrangements. He cares about two things: justice, and baked goods. In that order.
World premiere announcement forthcoming. There is no whitelist. There is no early access. Stay tuned.
Jerk Calhoun is a parody, a farce, and a love letter to a kind of cop movie that doesn't really exist anymore — the kind where the lead has a jacket, a partner with a nice suit, and a moral compass that points in exactly one direction.
I dreamed this because I missed it. I created it because I like new categories and emerging tools.
This is a movie about a man who refuses to compromise, in a city built on that. The only thing he cares about is justice and baked goods.
