Famous motivational speaker Patrick Spencer (Alan Thicke) refuses to pay the kidnapping ransom for his only daughter Diana, leaving only the unlikely friendship between Diana and a goon-for-hire standing between her and a body bag.
It’s Not My Fault and I Don’t Care Anyway from 108 Media on Vimeo.
Patrick Spencer is famous for his philosophy ‘It’s Not My Fault and I Don’t Care Anyway.’ His book of the same name has earned him a lot of money and the adoration of his enormous fan base.
When small-time crook Johnny 3-Fingers discovers that he’s been selling drugs to Patrick’s daughter Diana, he hatches a plan. Johnny enlists “Giant Man” Brian Calhoun (Quinton Aaron), an intimidating yet gentle heroin-addict, to help kidnap Diana and demand a ransom.
Unfortunately for Johnny, he underestimates Patrick’s “I don’t care” philosophy.
In this dark comedy, unlikely friendships are formed and selfishness is taken to the point of no return. Could it be that Patrick is right, and everyone only cares about themselves in the end?

His background is in the theatre, where he has penned over thirty plays, including musicals, solo shows and plays for young audiences. A highlight was Bash’d! A Gay Rap Musical which played Off Broadway and won a GLAAD media award.
