Jack has a plan. And in the final hours of that plan, Jack will have a party with his friends, spend some time telling his wife how much he loves her, and finally, he will take a cocktail of medication custom-designed to end his life peacefully and painlessly. For the last 25 years, Jack has been given “six months to live” due to a malignant brain tumor. How then is it possible for someone to be terminally ill for two-and-a-half decades? This predicament propels Jack on a quest to reconcile with his mother, find his biological father, and prepare for a dignified exit strategy. Despite its emotional subject, JACK HAS A PLAN&nbsp;is something of a revelation. The film is both intimate and moving, as the filmmaker and the subject weigh the implications and questions that arise from seeing this “project” to its natural conclusion, and provide a compassionate, entertaining, and surprisingly uplifting universal story that invites an audience along to reflect on the most serious topic of life—death. Co-presented by SFFILM.

Jack Has a Plan

When Jack, a man with a terminal brain tumor for 25 years, decides to end his life, his family and friends struggle to accept his decision. Jack’s best friend documents his three-year quest to die a happy man, culminating in a permanent going-away party.

After Tim’s work-related stroke leads to troubling signs of memory loss, his son Michael returns home to Montana. As they spend the most time together since Michael’s childhood, they reckon with the past that haunts Tim. Meantime is a deeply personal exploration of memory, guilt, labor, and the attempt to preserve the fleeting.
