CGiii Comment

A low-budget debut in need of a tripod and some lighting...all part and parcel of limited resources.

For what it lacks in technicality...it certainly makes up for...in talent, on both sides of the camera.

Beautifully played by all and succinctly directed by Sanchez - a bright future beckons.

Different degrees of desire, need and want...for we all inhabit the bleak landscape of humans being.

Admirable, commendable and deeply moving. A gentle but heartfelt emotional punch and a mighty fine directorial debut.

The(ir) Blurb...

In a nameless, suburban American town, the smell of barbeque fills the air as Fourth of July celebrations move from a hot summer day into night. Joe, a man who works hard and travels a lot, leaves his family behind for the holiday, citing a business trip. Abigayle, his precocious daughter, is left to tend to her ill mother and manage the house on her own, yet again. Seeking just enough attention to get her through another night of her lonely responsibilities, she turns to Dexter, a former high school basketball star whose best days are behind him. And while Abigayle is out with Dexter, Joe is quietly spending time around town with June, a young man he met online who's struggling to accept himself. And for just this night, the small world that these four live in will become even smaller, though the freedom they experience has never been so dangerous, fleeting and honest.
