Synopsis by Nathan Southern

Originally titled Make a Movie Like Spike, this drama concerns two buddies, Ronald (Malcolm Goodwin) and Luis (Jamil Walker Smith). Both are Marines on the verge of being shipped to Afghanistan, and each one harbors big dreams. In the days immediately preceding their departure, the men use a movie camera to document their final days at home with their families, just prior to deployment.
