This movie was low budget and self funded by my co-producer and myself and although it has some cringe worthy moments scattered throughout it, it was made to highlight the issues of domestic violence in our world. This really was a labour of love and I am eternally grateful for the cast and crew that did their part for the cause.

Here are a couple of clips from the movie, for anyone interested:
