RUNNER'S HIGH

V

feature documentary in production

A hilariously honest coming-of-age story about an overweight stand-up comedian on the spectrum who loses 185 lbs with the help of cannabis and ultrarunning.

 

This is the story of Dan LaMorte attempting to run his first 100 mile race.

MEET DAN

COMEDIAN. ULTRARUNNER. FORMER LARGE FELLA.

Dan LaMorte is a unique stand-up comedian, and that’s not just because he’s on the spectrum. 

 

At 23 years old, weighing in at 354 pounds, Dan found out he had fatty liver disease. At that moment, he decided to ditch the fat life and take back control of his physical and mental health. He went on to lose over 185 lbs and became an ultra runner. 

 

Now, he’s chasing his next goal: completing his first 100 mile race. 

 

We follow the ups and downs of his personal life and professional career as he becomes a young adult - the break-ups, the break-throughs, and the hilariously honest commentary throughout.
