Private Project

First Breath

A high school girl prepares for her prom, when her life unexpectedly crosses with a garbage man who discovers a baby in the trash by her home. Their surprising journey together subtly explores the purpose we are born with – starting with an infant's first breath. Starring Oscar winner Melissa Leo ("The Fighter"), Victor Williams ("King of Queens") and Kelly Karbacz ("Orange Is the New Black"). Directed by Jimmy Georgiades.
