Please note, this is a micro budget project that I (DC Brandon) will be filming primarily myself with minimal crew. I wish to find two lead actors who love the story (please read the script) and feel it is a good fit for them. We will be filming in a naturalistic way with a goal of creating a gritty but romantic film, proving the human spirit can flourish under any conditions.
