Synopsis: Based on a true story, “Sac de Merde” tells the tale of Mazel Mankewicz, an unlucky-in-love yet irrationally optimistic New Yorker who thinks her luck has changed when she spends the night with the man of her dreams. As it turns out, he might just be full of shit. Literally.
Greg Chwerchak has helped conceive and create hundreds of music videos, for artists as wide-ranging as Britney Spears, Destiny’s Child, Counting Crows, System of a Down, and Nelly; he’s also directed commercials for Gatorade, McDonald’s, and ESPN.
