LOGLINE: A misplaced lottery ticket worth $1.2 billion moves from person to person, but for some unknown reason no one can manage to cash it in.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Rick Groleau is a multimedia producer who spent 18 years at WGBH (Boston’s public television station), where he worked as a science writer, web producer, project manager, and editor (of content, not video), and 17 years at Harvard Medical School, where he worked as a video producer/editor and animator, focusing mainly on projects that helped to explain to a lay audience research being conducted at the school. He now runs his own one-person production and animation company, Unietoons (www.unietoons.com).

Although Rick studied film and television production at Emerson College in the late 1980s, it wasn’t until 2007 that he began working on his own films. He submitted his first film to a festival in 2013. The film, which is about him and his son surfing 10 beaches in four states in five days, was an official selection at the Maine Outdoor Film Festival.

Since then, he has directed and produced five more micro-budget films. These have screened at 40+ regional film festivals and have won awards including Best Feature, Best Director, Best Maine Film, Best Short, Best Indie Short, Best Cinematography, Original Screenplay, and Best of Festival. Three of these films have been broadcast on Vermont and Maine public television.
