A slacker edging into his 30's plots a not-quite-legal get rich quick scheme in this satiric
comedy written by celebrated novelist
Douglas Coupland.
Ryan (
Paulo Costanzo) lives and works in Vancouver, which has become overrun by runaway Hollywood film crews and folks looking for an easy buck however they can find it.
Ryan's unemployed father grows marijuana in his basement, his brother is involved in a real estate scam which bilks tycoons from Hong Kong who never see the property they only think they own, and
Ryan himself is an office drone at a magazine devoted to chronicling the lives of lottery winners. After his girlfriend leaves him for a wealthy yuppie,
Ryan falls for
Ming (
Steph Song), a beautiful Asian woman he meets in a Mandarin language class. Prompted by
Ming's desire for a more luxurious lifestyle,
Ryan dreams up a scheme to fix the lottery using what he's learned at his job. Adapted from the first original screenplay from
Douglas Coupland,
Everything's Gone Green received its world premiere at the 2006
Toronto Film Festival.
