RICKY
IN THE ROUGH
THE RICKY DIAMONDS MOVIE
WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF RICKY DIAMONDS
He’s washed up, banished from Vegas and desperately needs a martini…and some therapy.
This short film follows this exiled Las Vegas lounge singer as he plots his crooning career comeback from a small Canadian mountain town.
THEY SAY DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER…
Set in an era where he doesn't have the clout he once did in the cutthroat world of lounge-singing, we will follow Ricky through a series of comedic vignettes providing a glimpse into the strange and oftentimes outlandish world of Ricky Diamonds.
Short satires play out such as: Will Ricky’s car make it through the mountain pass to get to the gig? What happens when Ricky gets a haircut, calls a community Bingo, sings the national anthem at a hockey game?
BEHIND THE SCENES
This project is a collaboration between Golden, BC musician Eric Larocque and filmmaker Elora Braden.
