Seed

A man finds himself filled with questions when he learns that his time is drawing to a close in this semi-improvised drama. Francis Seed (John Michael Bolger) has just been told that he is seriously ill and does not have long to live. Emotionally shattered, Seed begins to drift, contemplating the mess that he's made of his life and trying to figure out what it all means. Seed takes to stopping strangers at random and asking them to discuss the meaning of life, running the gamut from housewives, religious leaders, and jazz musicians to alcoholic street people and sex workers. Seed's aimless travels eventually take him to the ocean, where he dives into the water and allows fate to take its course. The directorial debut for director and cameraman Bobby Sheehan, Seed was well received in its screening at the 2000 L.A. Independent Film Festival.
