Director Bio
Raised in Saint Louis, Sean Gerowin was often outed as daydreamer. He drew cartoon panels in the margins of textbooks and began experimenting with his family’s Betacam. At the 1984 World’s Fair, Gerowin found New Orleans a better place for daydreamers. He later returned to attend Tulane University, married a local artist, Karoline Schleh, had two kids, taught high school for seven years at Booker T. Washington, ran for political office, earned an M. Ed. at UNO, filmed two short documentaries, became a Realtor, and wrote/directed two feature films (Let‘s Rob the Cheese Shop & Trailer Park Jesus). Somewhat in that order.

Synopsis

TRAILER PARK JESUS is inspired by a true misadventure.

Jessie deals with a bad breakup, by purchasing a sheet of acid to share with his friends back home in Missouri. He hopes this will erase the bad memory of his college girlfriend leaving him in the middle of sex.

Departing New Orleans, Jessie detours onto Route 61, seeking a change of routine from the monotony of the Interstate. Unexpectedly, his engine fails at a forgotten trailer park in Cleveland, Mississippi. Fearful he’s about to be harmed by bikers, Jessie exchanges hits of L.S.D. for safe passage home. During the ebb and flow of the day, Jessie experiences the extraordinary in the pedestrian, whilst resurrecting the lives of many.
