SHOOTING STAR, a realistic drama set in Los Angeles where an unlikely mentor struggles to transform the lives of three friends trapped by their past, before time runs out for all of them.
Project collaboration: Closed
Synopsis: This gritty drama exposes the efforts of boomer-age Hollywood wardrober Peter Szabo to serve as a catalyst for the transformation of three young people haunted by their pasts. The twenty-something brat pack initially resists Peter’s attempts but eventually surrenders to Peter’s underlying urgency. In a race against time, Peter must not only liberate these three from their trauma bonds and launch them into functional adulthood, but must also make peace with his own demons in order to embrace his impending death and final transition.
