Powerful debut from first-time director

I saw this movie at a small screening and was impressed by both the performances and the realism. It deals with the fantasy question of "what if my life had taken a different turn at an earlier point?" and warns against the constant questioning of what "might have been" at the expense of enjoying and appreciating what we have. The lead character of Jeff is plunged into what is both a nightmare, and a very ordinary life. Paul Clemens does a fine job of portraying his character as a real person, faced with a situation which usually gets a less than "realistic" treatment in Hollywood! His scenes of anguish over what he lost are wrenching for just that realism. Debra Henri stands out in the scene where she stands up for her own dreams in the face of Jeff's apparent self-obsession, and Jeff Bergquist gives an ultimately touching performance as Jeff's father.

I commend Michael James Kacey (and his crew) for their fine achievement.

Wissenswertes
The final scenes in the movie were filmed along a permanently closed section of PA Route 61 in Centralia, Pennsylvania. An underground mine fire which began in 1962 forced the closure of the highway and the relocation of the residents in the 1980s. Debris had to be cleared away so as to make the roadway look usable. Gaps in the asphalt released a sulfuric odor and wisps of white smoke. Care had to be taken to keep it out of frame.
