Create or Die

A team of ambitious filmmakers travel to the backwoods of Georgia to shoot their passion project. But when disaster strikes, they begin to question just how far they are willing to go to chase their dreams.

IMDbDocumentary

In an industry that is becoming increasingly competitive, what drives indie filmmakers to keep creating their art, even when there is no promise of money or fame? CREATE OR DIE explores the insatiable passion to create despite the overwhelming odds through the lens of South Carolina writer and filmmaker David Axe, as he and his band of cast and crew head out into the backwoods of Georgia to shoot his low budget passion project ACORN. But when tragedy strikes on set, doubt and tension threaten to bring an end to their production and their dreams.
