Have you ever thought about how money could possibly change your life? Wouldn’t it be so much easier if you had more money? Would it make your family happier if you had more money and could get them what they wanted. These are a lot of questions that I’m sure many of us have asked ourselves. There would be so many more things we could do if we all had more money. Money isn’t always everything though. Family is definitely most important. Root of the Problem is a great movie that shows you some very valuable lessons. If money grew on trees, would you be happy? Or are there more important things then just money?

Scott Sikma’s award-winning debut feature film, Root of the Problem will challenge your beliefs and is a timely reminder that happiness is something money cannot buy, even if you do have a tree that grows money! With its clever screenplay by Francis Damberger and Joanne Sikma and wonderful performances by its talented cast, this film comes to us at a time when we are all searching for the positives in everyday life. Presented by Vision Films and Chaos: A Film Company Inc., Root of the Problem will be available on DVD and video-on-demand on July 7, 2020.

Starring Sergio Di Zio (Flashpoint, Rogue), Claire Rankin (Stargate: Atlantis, Molly’s Game), Jayson Therrien (Fargo, A Miracle on Christmas Lake), Chantal Perron (Heartland, Fargo) and introducing Leslie Bann and Ty Loupelle, Root of the Problem took away the Audience Award at last year’s Calgary International Film Festival and won Best Actor at 2019’s International Christian Film Festival.

Director, Scott Sikma believes that his film will encourage people to see that even in the hardest of situations, there is hope and happiness to be found. “I will always be inspired by the courage shown in Root of the Problem”, Sikma says. “It shines a light on some of life’s darkest moments.”

Synopsis

When a suburban family inherits a real-life money tree, the dad, Paul Campbell (Sergio Di Zio) thinks he has a one-way ticket to easy street. But he loses sight of the things that matter most in life and becomes more distant and secretive with his wife and children. Now, the family will be tested and must search within their hearts to find the answers and discover that it is better to give than receive.

“My sister, Margot McMaster, and I co-produced Root of the Problem because it speaks to the love, loyalty, and commitment within a family particularly during moments of crisis and despair; and serves to remind us of the importance of family ties no matter what the obstacles”, says executive producer, Carolyn McMaster.  “Root of the Problem was adapted from the book of the same name, written by Joanne Sikma, and we hope it brings as much joy to your family as it did to ours”.

Root of the Problem will be available on July 7, 2020, on VOD for an SRP of $4.99 – $9.99 from platforms including iTunes, Vudu, Google Play, Xbox, Amazon, and FandangoNow, as well as cable affiliates everywhere. The film will also be available on DVD from July 14 from all major online retailers.
