Part 9 of my second feature-length film. This one focuses on racism, diversity and interracial dating. It was filmed from June 2005 to August 2006 in and around Aston, Upper Darby, West Chester and West Chester University.
Plot Summary: Being raised in an interracial family their whole lives, and spending most of their time hanging out with Sun Valley High School nerds Mitch and Nate (Mitch Donaberger and Nate Walsh), step-siblings Kiera (Vy Cu) and Randy Morris (Doug Rowell) never experienced racism in their small town of Aston, PA. However, when Randy goes to college and meets his roommate, Jay Benton (Shane Daniels), the two begin to discover prejudice for the first time.
As Jay begins to fall for Kiera, tension builds as Jay's cousin, a gang leader named Hayden (Arie Mangrum) tries to take control of Jay's family (Darlene and Donnie Thomas). He will go to all measures to uphold his family's honor and stop Jay's relationship, by any means necessary.
Also starring: Bryan Trout, Liz Finnegan, Rick Thomas, Gwen Cu, Dave Pierdomenico and Mike Volpe.
