CGiii Comment

A low budget film...with a modicum of talent.

Alas, the execution is poor - mainly due to some very bad adult acting.

There are a few flurries of promising writing...and, it is beautifully shot...but...the acting!!!

Definitely, an interesting premise that should have shook the ground...but didn't - due to some terrible, yes, you've guessed it, acting - you know who you are!!!

Strong directors tell their actors: do it again....and, again...until you get it right.

The(ir) Blurb...

Glen Erskine: A family man and the director and chief of staff of New Horizons, a group home and counseling center for abused boys. Glen is a child psychologist with impeccable credentials who has an international reputation as one of the foremost scholars in the study of male adolescent sexuality. Tommy Jackson: A victim of emotional, physical, and sexual abuse since he was an infant, Tommy is taken into custody by the Department of Social Services and placed at New Horizons after his mother is arrested by the FBI for making pornographic videos of him and selling them on the Internet. At New Horizons, Tommy's young life finally seems to be coming together. But when the nature of the love he shares with one of his counselors is discovered and their relationship is destroyed, Tommy strikes back by accusing the man he believes responsible - Glen Erskine.
