Jack & Diane is an award winning Slamdance Finalist. What if two best
friends who have agreed to get married in ten years if they’re unattached actually do it ten years later? Set in Modern
day Fairmount, Indiana; home of James Dean and Jim Davis (that guy who created Garfield). Jack Shepard, a 28 year-old All-American
farm boy is about to lose his father’s farm when Diane Beaumont a small town girl from the richest family in Fairmount
comes back home from the Big Apple for a visit. Diane's dad owns the bank that is about to foreclose on Jack's farm
and going against her dad she decides to marry Jack to save the farm. Carl Mason, former hell on wheels kid is now the
town’s pastor and Jack’s best friend. Mary Ellen Wasserman-Mason runs the Jimmy Dean diner and is Carl's sexy
wife even after 5 kids. Crash, the comic relief is a 22 year old race car driver and part time crop duster.
