"'Drunk Bus' ought to be the No. 1 film in America. This very funny and at times touching comedy is the epic tale of a nobody named Michael (Charlie Tahan, “Ozark”) aka Drunk Bus. He’s called that because the young man drives a bus on the college loop of the Kent Institute of Technology in freezing Kent, Ohio, and most of his evening passengers are obnoxious college drunks."- <a href="https://www.bostonherald.com/2021/05/21/drunk-bus-takes-viewers-on-an-epically-funny-ride/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Boston Herald</a> A directionless, young campus bus driver and a punk rock, Samoan security guard named Pineapple form an unlikely kinship as they navigate the unpredictable late shift shit show known as the "drunk bus." Together, they break out of their endless loop and into a world of uncertainty, excitement and incredibly poor decision-making.

DRUNK BUS

A directionless campus bus driver and a punk-rock security guard form an unlikely kinship as they navigate the unpredictable late shift shit show known as the "drunk bus."

Maxime, a young man in search of stability, is literally haunted by the ghost of his girlfriend Hélène, who died recently. Wishing to put an end to this unbearable situation, Maxime finally decides to break with her. But Hélène does not seem ready to accept this decision. Director Bio:After his graduation from high school, Michiel Blanchart decided to return to Belgium, his native country, to enter IAD. During the summer of 2014, between his second and third year at IAD, he directed the short film L'ANNONCE (2016), an agonizing and claustrophobic thriller, an autoproduction shot in 7 days with a handful of motivated friends. Two years later, the film is selected at the FI du Film Policier in Liège. He co-directed the short film LULU (2015) with Louise Dandraën, as part of his fourth year at IAD. The film is selected, (among others festivals), at the FI du Film Francophone in Namur, and wins the BeTV Award. DYNAMAN (2017), his last year student film, is now his third official short film. His latest work is the short fiction film YOU'RE DEAD HELEN (2020).
