Pushing Dead is Tom E. Brown's debut film, a 2017 American independent comedy drama film written and directed by Brown and starring James Roday Rodriguez, Danny Glover, Robin Weigert and Khandi Alexander.

[1] Pushing Dead follows Dan Schauble (Rodriguez), a struggling writer—HIV-positive for 20+ years— dropped from his health plan for earning too much after he deposits a $100 birthday check.

In this new era of sort-of universal care, his only options are long shots: take on a helpless bureaucracy, or come up with $3000 a month to buy his medication.

[4][5] Mark De Gli Antoni is credited with all original music.

[8] No official soundtrack or album exists for this film.
