9:04 am - A NEW WAY TO WORK!

9:04 AM is an independent feature film and Heath McKnight is a filmmaker and a writer.

Heath decided to cut 9:04 AM into many 4-6 minute pieces to create webisodes.

9:04 AM is a drama/comedy about the difficulties of life, love, happiness, and the fine line between fantasy and reality.

Although this is an ensemble piece; there are multiple storylines that weave in and out of each other. As you watch, you will soon realize how all the characters are connected.
