At breakfast this morning, my good friend said he recently watched the film, THE GRAPES OF WRATH. IMO, I said, it’s the greatest American novel ever written, although depressing as hell. We both agreed it’s a great example of what those in power can do to the powerless. Sad but true!

World War II era, WHAT ARE THE CHANCES? tells the story of Michael and Cecelia, two Italian-Americans from factory towns who share similar dreams of escaping their humble origins. Romantic…passionate…intriguing…historic!

STILL LIFE follows Gabriel DeMarco, a young man finding his way amidst the turbulent late 60s/early 70s. Grappling with self-discovery, relationships, and loss, he embarks on a road trip, fueled by music and the hope of meeting his favorite recording artist. Captivating, comical, and heartfelt!

Just listened. Lovely! 🎵
