Pushing Dead is Tom E. Brown's debut film, a 2017 American independent comedy drama film written and directed by Brown and starring James Roday Rodriguez, Danny Glover, Robin Weigert and Khandi Alexander.
Pushing Dead follows Dan Schauble (Rodriguez), a struggling writerâÂÂHIV-positive for 20+ yearsâ dropped from his health plan for earning too much after he deposits a $100 birthday check. In this new era of sort-of universal care, his only options are long shots: take on a helpless bureaucracy, or come up with $3000 a month to buy his medication.
Additional support/funding was provided by the Sundance Institute/Rockefeller Foundation
