Over the many years, there are some films that just slip by & hardly anyone views.
Choose Conner is one of those films.
This small gem played at some festivals & had a short 2 week run in a small theatre in West Hollywood making all of about $ 5500.
It is now on DVD I do hope many more will now see this,.
It is a strange drama of a shrewd youngish politician, who influences a very bright 15 year old lad.This politico also has a handsome nephew (about 17 years old) who befriends the 15 year old lad.
The above paragraph is slightly vague as to what occurs, SO is the film, & that is what I appreciated, we do NOT get all the facts,Much is left to our own thinking. You will hear dialog that makes this logical..
Steven Weber (Wings) is our politician,his role is slightly vague,this is another point for the audience to ponder
Alex D.Linz is our 15 year old, He was about 17 when they made this movie, but easily can pass for younger. He has been in films & TV since he was a young child, He is a very good actor & is quite convincing.
Escher Holloway is the older teen, This role is his first major part & he too is excellent.
Now I am saving the best for last, the writer/director,
Luke Eberl is not yet 23 years old. For a first effort a big thumbs up. I do hope he as well as our 2 lads have a long career.
