SYNOPSIS

A glam rock dilettante's life takes a dramatic turn when his ex unexpectedly drops their 11-year-old son off for the week.

The Independent Feature Screening Series provides the opportunity for independent producers, directors, writers and actors, to discuss the process of creating a feature length film while at the same time inspiring our audience to create their own work.
