With the potential to earn a quick bit of cash here and there, Don Verdean (Sam Rockwell) turned to the life of a "Biblical archaeologist", uncovering and selling works of art and pieces of Biblical history. As he starts to fabricate and lie his way through his 'adventures', Verdean acquires the help of a church that announce their intentions to bankroll his expeditions and help him do whatever he wants to in his quest to find and return The Holy Grail. With the potential of being found out and exposed, Verdean is forced to think inwardly about what is truly most important to him.

Written and directed by Jared Hess ('Napoleon Dynamite', 'Nacho Libre'), 'Don Verdean' is set to make its premiere on 28th January 2015 at the Sundance Film Festival. Before featuring on the Premieres section at Sundance, the North American distribution rights to 'Don Verdean' were acquired by Lionsgate. A clip from the film has been released, featuring Sam Rockwell and Danny McBride ('Your Highness'). The film also features Jemaine Clement ('Flight of the Conchords', 'What We Do in the Shadows').
