Synopsis

Atlantic City, a.k.a Hard City, is littered with the broken dreams and dashed hopes of every two-bit hustler who thought he could make his mark on the world with a dollar and dream. Just below the sparkling façade of this gambling town, there lies a darker world that can give rise to great power, unless the dirt on your suit starts to show. But just like the roulette tables in the nearby casinos, the odds of making it in A.C. are never in your favor. While many try to shine bright, most burn out like the darkened neon lights that hang in abandoned store fronts. The rules are different here. Rebecca’s Window is a story of a group of individuals hustling to create a better life for themselves despite their troubled pasts, and will go to unimaginable lengths to make their dreams reality. They want the world at their fingertips, but no one thought the choices they made could destroy their dreams before they ever took shape.

Dreams Realized Aug 01, 2006 04:56PM

I often have said to just about anyone who will listen that if I did nothing else with my life I would make films that would hit home with the pulse of the people. There were more than a handful of times where I can recall looking into the face of friends and family and saw the words they never wanted to speak "Yeah right you’re just dreaming." I say this on 8/1/06 with a subtle smile on my face "Thank you." It was those looks and those moments that pushed me ahead to accomplish just what I said I would do. It was those looks that told me I could not worry about what others thought or what others believed in the same light as I viewed what lived inside of me. I am not there yet but I am further then many who are still allowing those who live small and file their dreams away as impossible make decisions for them. This is only a beginning. Coming from a gambling town you always have to press it to the hilt
