The Story
Bradley, an aspiring musician, has always desired to make a living in the music industry. Struggling with a speech impediment, developed after an unfortunate event, Bradley has been unable to communicate effectively or maintain healthy long term relationships. Through a turn of events, Bradley crosses paths with a retired music industry professional who teams up with Bradley to mentor his band through the road of success in the music industry. During this journey, Bradley stumbles upon another relationship that helps him to realize his innate true self worth and helps him to rediscover how to truly love.
"The most important piece of this event is to create an environment that allows anyone desiring to be on the cast or crew, to participate, be creative and fall in love with every aspect of the film creation process."
