Directors vision Statement

This movie looks at the role of arts within the criminal justice system. It covers class barriers, racism, drug culture and a whole lot more. In this moving, funny and often poignant film, we see Sophie and Tony from contrasting backgrounds fall in love after a chance meeting at a drama class set up in a prison. We follow as their lives intertwine and they fall in love against the wishes of some.

I can personally relate to how the Arts can change a life and I hope to bring this feeling to the film. I want to show people how powerful the arts are and how they can transform someone and remove them from situations that could end in horrific consequences. Im very proud to have this film under House of Create and very excited to take this story from page to screen.
