Production

[edit]

Filming took place during April and May 2003, in New Jersey and New York City. The film was produced by Starline Films. Producer Jon Doscher, a native of Woodcliff Lake, New Jersey, chose to feature several Woodcliff Lake natives in the film, including former Woodcliff Lake Mayor Josephine Higgins, who played the part of an ambulance driver.[2]

The film features the debut acting performance of Ace Frehley in a non-Kiss related appearance. He also contributes to the soundtrack.

Synopsis

[edit]

The film is about a New York City-based artist who claims to have witnessed his best friend's murder. Due to a drug problem, he cannot recall what happened, and is the prime suspect. He desperately tries to remember before it is too late.
