Set in the late 60's... Enter the mind of a deranged man, who’s finally reached his breaking point. After a broken childhood of pain and misery, we see the fallout firsthand. Justice has no balance in an unstable mind. We’ll witness what years of repression can do as they finally erupt into a cataclysmic catastrophe right before your eyes. By digging into the catacombs of the mind, we witness how one man is able to manifest a new perspective which will transform his way of thought into new realms. Irrationality becomes his reality, as he reaches for serenity.

Casting for a feature-length independent film. Looking for the following roles:

Rainbow, a Latino drag queen, plans a party for her 30th birthday. She does this in an effort to bring together her family, who had distanced themselves from her. Her friends and former drag band mates have all turned on each other, stab each other in the back and do whatever they can to undermine one another. In this atmosphere, Rainbow has long held a private, excruciating pain close to her heart, believing that she has no one she can turn to within her family or her circle of friends.
