Low budget film shows you don't need big bucks..., 5 September 2003
Author: Charlesc-5 from United States

This film was shot on a shoestring, seemingly with home video equipment. The story is one of a young woman who decides to take a chance and make it in acting in New York.

What follows, however, is not a typical Hollywood story. The film takes you through various stages of hope and disappointment.

The real feature of this film, however, is that in spite of a shoestring budget and occasionally distracting editing, there is not a false moment or character in this film.

Even at this small budget, the film presents supporting actors who may seem over the top for big budget fare, but are spot on for their reality as I have witnessed it in the Big Apple (I'm esp thinking about the woman director). For not flinching at presenting such characters in their full dimension, while not losing reality, this movie deserves praise.

Most of all, we believe and care about the characters, something which many big screen productions fail to do.

The story shows the descent of this young woman who has risked it all to fullfill her "That Girl" dream. Instead, however, she is greeted with one nightmare after the other.

The ending presents resolution, but be prepared for a bumpy ride.

I recommend this film.
