Enter into the wacky world of Mark Cline, a sculptor and entertainer from Rockbridge County, VA. The film follows Mark all over the state of Virginia and even to other parts of the country during a pivotal year in his career as he accomplishes major career milestones like his first museum exhibition and a starring role in his first stage play. But the year is not without tribulations: a massive fire burned most of his main attractions to the ground (he lost The Haunted Monster Museum, Dinosaur Kingdom, and Hunt Bigfoot with a Redneck). 

The film accompanies Mark on many other unique adventures: from the top of an abandoned building in Waynesboro for a 9/11 tribute (in which he knocked out power to most of the town...), to a motorsports complex in Alabama to install a giant lady in the lake - it's a wild ride and one that's full of joy.

The film is in post-production.
