Award-winning screenwriter Justin Owensby brings us his feature film directorial debut, "Chapman", an atmospheric and visually stunning character study enlivened with a strong dose of crude humor following a young man’s journey back home while haunted by images of his past.Alex Fletcher ("Killing Lincoln’s" Jesse Johnson), a locksmith trapped inside the wreckage of a life numbed by drugs and regret, receives an unexpected and troubling letter that draws him back to his childhood home, an idyllic town in the Colorado Rockies. While facing heartbreaking memories of best friend Paul (Chris Masterson, “Malcolm in the Middle”), his first love, Marie and demons from his past, Alex’s journey leads to an unlikely new bedfellow in Claire (Christine Woods, "The Walking Dead") and a confrontation that may be the key to his emotional healing.
"Justin Owensby's feature film debut immediately resonated with us,” said Candy Factory Films’ Head of Acquisitions Caitlin Gold. “His aesthetic eye and ability to bring a character to life is something we're looking forward to sharing with digital audiences everywhere this May.” "Chapman" will be available to download on iTunes and everywhere on May 8th, 2015.

Comparisons to Terrence Malick have become lazy critical shorthand for describing visual poetry, but writer-director Justin Owensby's wounded-hearts drama directly evokes (pilfers?) the impressionistic editing, nostalgic palettes, and gliding magic-hour camera work of The New World or Tree of Life.
Repressed locksmith Alex (Jesse Johnson, son of Don) is a hot mess who copes by chugging cough syrup, huffing paint, and puckishly breaking into cars and hotel rooms as his worldly whims dictate.
The arrival of a letter summons Alex back to his idyllic Colorado Rockies home, where he has fallen out terribly with his childhood buddy Paul (Christopher Masterson, brother of Danny), but all that anguish took place 12 years ago.
