After seeing this staged in Los Angeles and absolutely loving it, I was nervous to see its realization in film format. It's like reading a book and seeing the film after, right? Rarely going to be a positive transition.
That is why this was such a unique experience! It made me so happy that the powerful story that I saw on stage had the same strong impact on me as a film.
I have seen other projects done by this creative team, and they consistently have a strong social impact, while keeping me raptly entertained I'm definitely going to keep watching.

A UNIQUE AND IMPACTFUL EXPERIENCE
Eye-opening!
As usual, Michael Leoni does not disappoint. It's an emotional roller coaster that truly shows the unfair price many have had to pay to get to the dream they thought they wanted. The cast did an amazing job of vividly painting this picture. When a story needs to be told, Leoni tells it. An absolute must see!
Super Creative and Powerful Film
This movie was a stage play that was so creatively shot, that alone is reason enough to see this film. Add in the incredibly powerful and important message and great acting makes this a must see indie film.
