Standout at the 2003 Newport Beach Film Fest

The standout drama and clear audience favorite of its program at the 2003 Newport Beach Film Festival in Newport Beach, CA in early April. A stunning and timely effort by emerging filmmaker Kevin Shahinian and veteran actor Robert Pierce. Ambitious and effectively executed. A wonderful film.
