The Story

Kate, a young and beautiful runaway, has made a meager living as a stripper in Los Angeles. Despite her innocent appearance, she carries a darker secret. With the help of her close friends, Kate tries to better her life and overcome her past, but first she must overcome the obstacle of being lost in a world of sex, drugs, and violence.


Cast (so far)

Melanie Robel  

Frances Manzo 


Monique Original Gata Dupree 


Reno Ministrelli 


Shawn C. Phillips 


The Impact

At its core, this story is about an underdog and the obstacles she must overcome to better her life. This is the kind of story everyone can relate to in the sense that at some point in our lives, we have all felt rejected. In this story, our protagonist, Kate, struggles with being frowned upon by society because she's a stripper. Yet, people want to be inspired by the underdog, and that's exactly what Kate does. This story shows that no matter what kind of situation you are in, there is light at the end of the tunnel. 

More importantly, this film is also about domestic violence. I'd like to bring more awareness to the topic by obtaining sponsorship from a domestic violence awareness group. 



I intend on entering the completed project into any and every film festival out there. From there, I will work night and day to get theatrical release and distribution.

Our Story

Hollywood can be a dark place - a dark place with dark secrets. Mark Mathieson had it all. A child star with a hit TV show who became a multi millionaire before he had reached puberty. It was after he lost his boyish charm that life began to go wrong for the former child star of the successful television series, “The Boy Next Door”. Mathieson is on trial for his life, for the murder of his pregnant girlfriend Rebecca Brennan, the beautiful daughter of a prominent Beverly Hills Cardiologist. Few doubt that Mark Mathieson is capable of committing such a heinous crime. Though proving it in a court of law is far more difficult than it is in the court of public opinion.


Danny Haven was also a child actor, though not nearly as successful as his former costar Mark Mathieson. However, his life is also in peril. Danny is dying of cancer and struck with the sobering reality of leaving behind his wife Hallie, and their young daughter Sammi. Bills are piling up. The fear and guilt are slowly driving Danny and Hallie apart.  

After Mathieson is acquitted to a stunned courtroom, a chance meeting of the Haven family and Rebecca’s father, Dr. Brennan occurs, giving Danny an idea on how to provide for his family and give meaning to what little time he has left. Danny offers to kidnap Mathieson, force a taped confession, and then kill him. To avoid prosecution and any evidence leading back to Brennan, Danny plans to take his own life as well. In return the wealthy Dr. Brennan agrees to provide for Hallie and their daughter Sammi.

A suicide mission is underway, where the climactic ending is inevitable bloodshed. As it were in The Dying Hour…

Captain America Review by Frank Tobin







Seamlessly blending perfectly pitched action, brisk pacing, and cheesy character interactions and dialogue, "Captain America" delivers on a Nazi- err, HYDRA punching scale with unbelievable special effects, and an anachronistic quality not seen in films since they were called "talking pictures." Oh, and there's a trailer for "The Avengers" after the credits.
