An Anything But Ordinary Journey: South Florida Movie Premiere

Produced by Michigan Filmmakers Michael McCleary and Casey Turner, An Anything But Ordinary Journey follows Michael McCleary's story as he pursues a dream of creating a TV series that inspires viewers to live their passion. The hook: Michael has no TV production experience and no money to pay for a large production team, yet finds through dedication and a little ingenuity virtually anything is possible.

For over 4 years, on a meager budget, and with a dedicated crew, Michael travels across the United States and Canada to search for 'Ordinary People Living Extraordinary Lives'. Cast members include speakers, entrepreneurs, a dancer, a former GM executive turned coach, the first blogger, a doctor with a serious illness, a famous actor seeking redemption, a man told by his doctors he wouldn't live past the age of 30, a rock musician who finds peace at a monastery and many more inspiring individuals. During these extraordinary interviews, Michael poses a series of questions to his guests in an attempt to divine the deeper meaning of the fundamental nature of the human spirit in the areas of change, perseverance, faith and ultimately defining the true measure of success.

This extraordinary film will challenge viewers to re-evaluate not only their concept of success, but what the true purpose and passion is for their life.

The November 16th Cinema Paradiso showing is the Florida Premiere of this soon to be acclaimed feature documentary. $3 from each ticket sale will go to a local Ft. Lauderdale charity, The Second Chance Society.
