What is Full Throttle Mindset about?

“Described as a gonzo cautionary tale about deluded American dreams and dark mentors, the film tells the wild true story of young burnout Blake Laubinger (Gage), who’s taken under the wing of a Midwestern tanning salon mogul named Todd Beckman (Duhamel),” reads the film’s initial synopsis. “He soon learns his new mentor’s businesses are a front for a drug empire — one he’s now expected to partake in.”

Full Throttle Mindset will be directed by Patrick Brice from a screenplay by Jake Disch. The film is a production of XYZ Films, with John Baker and Robby O’Connor producing. Production is expected to begin sometime this year.
