OFFICIAL TRAILER
REVIEWS
INDIE SHORTS MAG
Joshua Paul Messarge’s Going Down South is a dark comedy that explores a crucial turning point in the lives of two brothers who live a life of crime. In this 20-minute film, circumstances bring Mickey and Donnie to a point where their lives could change forever in the best or worst of ways.
FILM THREAT
Messarge’s story is poignant, and the filmmaker uses the thriller elements to heighten the stakes. Going Down South shows us how easy it is to get caught in the hamster wheel of life, where we repeat the same actions over and over again. It tells us that it takes something big or devastating to snap ourselves out of it.
