A Real Money Tree Brings Unexpected Results in Vision Films' New Family Film, 'The Root of the Problem'
LOS ANGELES, June 23, 2020 (Newswire.com) - How often does one think about how much easier life would be with more money? How much happier could they make their family if they could buy them anything they wanted?
Scott Sikma’s award-winning, debut feature film, Root of the Problem will challenge that age-old belief that money is everything. A timely reminder that happiness is something money cannot buy, even if one has a tree that grows actual bills. With its clever screenplay by Francis Damberger and Joanne Sikma and wonderful performances by its talented cast, this film comes to us at a time when we are all searching for the positives in everyday life. Presented by Vision Films and Chaos: A Film Company Inc., Root of the Problem will be available on DVD and video-on-demand on July 7, 2020.
"I will always be inspired by the courage shown in Root of the Problem," Sikma says. "It shines a light on some of life's darkest moments."
Scott Skima, Director
