NEAR CHANGE
Sometimes in life you find yourself at a crossroads between who you are, and the life you've been living. Dino and his best friend and associate Tony, are mid-level mafia foot soldiers. As they wait for breakfast in a diner, on an ordinary day like any other, Dino realizes he has reached his fork in the road. Unless “this” is all there is…something is going to have to change.

I've always loved films that are about simple universal moments that transcend the characters or culture they are about. I believe NEAR CHANGE has that. It's that moment in life when you realize you've been on a path that is not your own, and you can't take one more step unless you are true who you are. Though the story of feeling trapped in a life that's not your own is not unusual, our main character and the world in which he's from, give this film an unusual twist on a universal theme. That being said, I think you'll find a little of him in all of us.
