When I moved here 30 plus years ago I was awestruck by the the beauty of Golden Gate Park. I moved here in December and to experience the exotic lushness after only knowing Central Park or Boston Common as my touchstones seemed...well the difference was otherworldly, I was totally enchanted. But beautiful as it was it was it was hard for me to establish roots as there was a recession and jobs were difficult to come by. Having ridden that rollercoaster and survived I have an enormous appreciation for this poetic piece by J.P. Allen, writer, director and Cathy Montosa his life partner and producer in simultaneously evoking a place and a time in conflict. A beautiful place where we feel, we know we belong but fate and circumstances are conspiring against us. To incorporate such stunning imagery with a suspenseful storyline is an achievement. All 3 women deliver Bravero performances or is that bravera because I think the establishing of 3 female main characters was a brave stroke of genius. I especially appreciated the special attention to the sound track, it added so much to feel of the film. A lovely thought provoking film. This is what independent film is all about,
