Movie Description:
Meet Walter (Chris "Turnip" Simmons) a lonely pathetic little wretch whose only two ambitions in life are to be good at something, ANYTHING, and to find the girl of his dreams. Unfortunately, success can seem a distant dream when his slovenly roommate Dave (Steven "Flyboy" Tracy) walks all over him and never pays his share of his rent or when Walter's low self-esteem keeps him from seeing the love right under his nose, Ann (Lindsy Husak).
However, in a world where Charles Manson (Jeff "Cheesepeck" Alexander) is running for President of the United States and the ghost of Jack the Ripper (Jill "Bacon Eyes" Emmert) still walks the earth, anything is possible. Will simple determination and training from one of history's greatest serial killers be enough to turn this loser around? Will Walter be able to find it within himself to make all his dreams come true? Will he be able to be the man...the BAG MAN?

Filmmaker’s Bio:
That’s Prescribed Films all right, Iowa’s up-and-coming independent film company, specializing in genres that only a mother could love. We’re talking everything from sick and twisted slasher films and deep dark horror dramas to mockumentaries and jokes on film. These people just aren’t right in the head and their films prove it.
Prescribed Films is made up of a cast of hooligans. Their leaders, INSANE Mike Saunders (Director/Editor) and Jason Bolinger (Asst. Director) have years of experience under their collective belts in the movie making industry. They’re masters of squeezing every cent out of their “no-budget” productions. It’s just too bad that they abuse their power for evil every chance they get. Cap’n Spooty, Chris TURNIP Simmons, Melissa Alexander, Steven FLYBOY Tracy and Angie Lellig are no slouches either, not a shoot goes by where they don’t break every cinematic rule in the book.
And while their movies, to the untrained eye, may seem a little raw and under produced, their passion for filmmaking is obvious to all. They eat, drink, and sleep movies. I’ve never seen a harder working group of people. That’s why when you want to see something true, you want to see something real, and you want to see something wrong and disgusting, see a Prescribed Films movie.
