Benjamin Troubles (2017)

In the underbelly of Los Angeles, we meet Ben Ramsay, a once-promising artist now bruised by life's cruel jests. Evicted from his home, jobless, and bereft of his art backpack, Ben's existence is a litany of misfortunes. But his darkest hour proves a prelude to an unexpected dawn when a homeless man grants him a peculiar gift - a pair of magic jeans. These aren't your average denims. They hold a unique power: for every hour that they remain on Ben, they conjure up a crisp hundred-dollar bill. It's a strange blessing, one that weaves a thread of dark comedy through Ben's life, pulling him into the labyrinth of LA's underbelly. His life rapidly spirals into a whirlwind of backroom poker games, seedy drug dens, and surreal encounters in the desert, all underlined by a budding romance that promises to change his life. However, these magic jeans aren't just a ticket to wealth; they're a catalyst propelling Ben towards a reckoning with his past. As he navigates the tumultuous path paved by his new power, he's forced to confront the ghosts he's long evaded. 'Benjamin Troubles' is a darkly humorous tale that merges the ordinary with the magical, the dismal with the hopeful. It's a rollercoaster journey that veers through unexpected turns, culminating in a twist ending that you won't see coming. This is the story of Ben Ramsay's life, irrevocably altered by a pair of magic jeans – a tale that will leave you questioning the true cost of fortune.
