Harold Buttleman, small town tuxedo salesman, thinks he’s the next great daredevil stuntman. He jumps out of trees, rolls down hills in tractor tires, and rides over homemade ramps – not for the sport of it, but for fame, fortune, glory and honor. Always on hand to film his adventures is Harold’s best friend and cameraman, Doug. Together they plot to take the stunt world and Hollywood by storm.

 

Harold is on the brink of TV stardom (a 3 a.m. spot on late night cable access). His friends are rallying around him, but the life of a daredevil stuntman is harder than it looks. His parents, a reverend and his socialite wife, want him to move out of their basement. His girlfriend Wendy wants him to get married and start a career selling bathtub parts for her dad’s company. And the rest of the town hasn’t yet acknowledged this new American Hero.

 

For Harold, it all depends on his big break – he gathers the entire town for his gala premiere celebration, but there’s a surprise in store...

 

BUTTLEMAN is a dark comedy about following your dreams, and the finer points of being shot out of a cannon.
