A question that has been asked by many since the film wrapped in 2012, “What ever happened to Proper Binge?” This question can finally be answered. Proper Binge brought together an army of Alaskan filmmakers and movie enthusiasts, and was a launch pad for many prominent Alaskan filmmakers.
Sure, it took 10 long years (from script to screen), numerous re-writes, failed fundraising campaigns, hundreds of amazing talented filmmakers and/or movie aficionados, 26 solid days of shooting, 3 unbelievably long years of post-production and a few births and deaths just to get this monster out of its cage and to create loads of anticipation...
The screening for the film will be held at the Bear Tooth Theatre Pub & Grill in Anchorage. Many of the filmmakers, cast and crew will be in attendance. Please join us for this very special event.
Film Summary:
For Burgess Zwink, aka Buzz, wasting life is a way of life. At 32 years old and still living with his parents, Buzz's adult life seems to be nothing more than a continuous haze of debauchery. That is until his carefree recklessness lands his lifelong friend in the hospital after another of his drunken mishaps.
Faced with the reality of his choices as he reluctantly forces himself into sobriety, Buzz begins to realize just how much pain he has caused to those around him.
With the help of a young lnupiaq boy and an elderly, lifelong alcoholic, Buzz must face his past, present and possible future in order to take his life back from the bottle and above all else, seek forgiveness not only from those he has wronged, but from himself.
