DARUMA is an award-winning dramedy about friendship, fatherhood, found family and forgiveness. A groundbreaking film lauded for its authenticity, DARUMA is executive produced by Oscar-winner Peter Farrelly. DARUMA played for sold-out audiences at the Slamdance film festival in Park City where actor John W. Lawson took home the award for BEST ACTOR.
