Triumph, IL

80 min

A low-key, wry small-town comedy about an unlikable guy slowly becoming tolerable, with gentle laughs and a warm, offbeat vibe.

Directed by
Jake Myers
Genres
Drama, Comedy
Overview
This isn't a hero's journey. Chicago's resident comedy-practicing jerk, Joe, is unexpectedly transferred to small town Triumph, IL, home of the world's oldest curling club - and not much else. Thanks to a little tough love, the end of a bad relationship, strange encounters with Illinois' eccentrics and plenty of cheap beer, Joe becomes slightly more tolerable.
