On the 30th anniversary of his own death, the angelic spirit of legendary Beat Generation writer Jack Kerouac returns to Earth in the abandoned body of a street bum, and drops in on a tavern where, to beat era jazz, a poetry slam is being staged in his honor.
During the following hours, he transforms the lives of three individuals: Gerard Tripp, a cynical writer burned by the publishing world, who writes by night then locks his manuscripts away; Mary, a timid young writer; and Carol, a former painter turned bartender.
Vincent Balestri is acclaimed all over the US and Canada for his award winning one-man play, “Kerouac: The Essence of Jack.”
Filmed on location in Northwest Washington, Beat Angel carries a message from beyond that speaks to the artist in each of us.
