THE ROAD OF EXCESS is a film about mental health, addiction, toxic masculinity, and the loss of fame through the eyes of ex-Dirty Sanchez star Matt Pritchard. Dirty Sanchez was a Welsh “Jackass” that was one of MTV Europe’s most popular shows in the early ’00s. After its end, Matt fell into darker times. Through the stories shared with his co-stars, his mother and his best friend, we learn about the fallout they suffered. From mental health issues such as depression to substance addiction and then more physical conditions. Dealing with these demons Matt exchanged one addiction for another, endurance sports. Each time the challenge has to be bigger and at the end of 2020 he decides to join a team to row across the Atlantic. THE ROAD OF EXCESS parallels Matt’s rise and fall with the arc of this row. Will fifty days at sea, rowing two hours on and two hours off help him find peace? He doesn't know why but since signing up it is all he dreams of. What will this latest expedition teach him? Will he find balance? Or has losing himself meant his journey will never end?
