Written/Starring Don Barnhart
Directed by Don Lewis Barnhart
Produced by Linda Vu & Skip Burrows

Freeloader is the story of a returning Veteran that finds out his wife is cheating on him and by selling off their house and belongings leaves him alone and homeless. Setting out to find himself, he ends up on the streets in Las Vegas and uses his wit and humor to find his way back to reality.

This is will be the second feature film written and starring nationally acclaimed and award-winning comedian Don Barnhart, Jr. "The story deals with the ongoing homeless problem here in Las Vegas and Freeloader becomes the Robin Hood of the homeless," said Barnhart in a recent interview while on tour headlining for Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines. He added, "I really like using comedy to deal with current affairs and hard to face issues and I try to do that in my stand up show as well."

Barnhart's production company was selected to showcase his TV show, The Freedom of Speech Comedy Series at The Montreal Comedy Festival and Don was recently the Featured Comedian on MySpace as well as winning last year's American Idol Underground's Comedy Contest. Barnhart is currently on tour with his DeEvolution of Man Comedy Show that he is developing into a one-man show and he will take time off to shoot the film Freeloader.

Freeloader will be directed by Barnhart's father Don Lewis Barnhart whose numerous directing credits include Saved By The Bell, Mork & Mindy and Full House. It will also be the first time Barnhart and his father will be working together professionally. Don's father, Don Lewis Barnhart had just finished shooting the reality show, "So You Want To Be An Actor?" and is prepping "Vegas Wedding Blues" when he got involved. My dad was in between projects when he read the script and I got the call. Barnhart Sr said, "This is a great script that you shouldn't let go. Do it yourself and you could be the next great comedy star."

Freeloader will be produced under the Don Barnhart Entertainment production company and is truly a family run business with producer and wife of Barnhart Jr, Linda Vu who produced and starred in China Dolls and is the author of Fit, Feminine & Fabulous along with Skip Burrows whose recent credits include Con Air, The Mexican, 12 Monkeys and 3000 Miles To Graceland.

Barnhart's first film, "China Dolls" was a self-funded independent film that deals with the issue of human trafficking and is getting great audience reviews and earning the company money. Don added, "This was an ultra low-budget project that we shot ourselves and put it up on the internet and self distributed. With the power of the online community, we've already made our money back thru downloads and DVD sales."

"With the success of our first project, it was really a no-brainer to produce Freeloader ourselves and take on another film," said Vu. She added, "Don had always wanted to do a project with his father and combining the two talents together is going to be a great experience as they both live and breath comedy. If we can capture on film what they do so naturally, it's sure to be a hit."
