I first saw this film at the 2012 Manhattan Film Festival where I also had a movie showing. I met filmmaker/lead actor, Mark, at the Producer's Club Theater and asked him a bit about the movie. He informed me that it was an "indie musical comedy". I was immediately hooked because the words indie and musical generally don't appear in the same sentence. When it comes to independent film, most people cop out for "talkies" due to budgetary restraints, but not Mark. Mark and his band of misfits have created a phenomenal work here, an instant classic NYC movie that young people trying their hand at life in the Big Apple can relate to. I moved to NYC in 2003 on $3,000 (which ended up getting taken by a broker for an apartment I never got to live in). Many of the struggles of the characters in this film are some of the same struggles I went through for many years since. I, like a lot of other transplants, can very much relate to the story and its characters.
The movie is timeless and the music is hopping. I find myself walking around New York City with the tracks playing in my MP3 player and people look at me like I'm crazy because I'm dancing around and smiling like a maniac. Sometimes I sing along while on the Staten Island Ferry... "when it comes to romance... and you wanna take a chance... you gotta dance dance dance."
