Unable to find a job after spending time in prison, Shawn takes work as an erotic dancer to support his daughter and falls in love with a man for the first time.
AJ Mattioli is definitely a director to watch. His artistic vision is incredible. I loved this story that was both gritty yet uplifting. I loved the world that was created and I want to see it turned into something bigger, I just want more!
Mattioli and Salazar gift the viewer a glistening and breathtaking look of New York. The cinematography of Cory Green is an incredible backdrop to the storys blooming romance. As gorgeous as the technical construction of the film feels, it never breaks too far from reality and complexity. Kinkel and Salazar give their all to provide two real characters who beam with emotion. The two of them navigate their characters with skill through the joy of self-discovery to darker ebbs of depression and addiction.
