Production
Kilby originally penned a one hundred page script that was entered into the Screenplay Competition at Beverly Hills Film Festival.[2] Years later he realized it was worth rewriting as a smaller project and set up a GoFundMe to fund the film with a micro budget. The rewritten forty page project was shot over twenty days[3] for $15,000.[4] Kilby dedicated the project to his sister Peggy.[5]
Release
The film screened at Idyllwild International Festival of Cinema,[6] Indie Short Fest,[7] Global Indie Film Fest[8] and Hobnobben Film Festival.[9]
Reception
Critical response
In a review by Rome Prisma Film Awards, they found the film interesting, "technically well done" and "the only downside being an original score."[10] Nami Melumad at New York Film Awards praised the film for its direction, performances, storyline, pacing and music.[11] Roy Zafrani at Los Angeles Film Awards said it is “a small indie film with a big heart.”[12] Michelle Way received recognition for a “well done” performance, winning Best Actress at Actor Awards. Mark Christopher Lawrence won for Best Supporting Actor.[13]
