Billy as a struggling piano player, Lori as his sick sister. I found the performance from Billy to be spectacular! This was a dark journey into what one person will do to take care of an owed debt when the world is stacking everything it has against him and he has a lot to learn about himself along the way.

This is a different film that really separates itself from what I'm seeing released today. It definitely takes on a unique flavor of cinema that should be applauded!

Congratulations to all of those involved. Very creative script.

I'm looking forward to a second viewing soon!

Give it a watch for sure!

Billy follows the harrowing journey of a struggling piano player trying to care for his terminally ill sister, Lori. What unfolds is a dark, emotionally charged exploration of how far someone will go to pay off a debt when life has pushed them to the edge.

The lead performance is outstanding-raw, vulnerable, and utterly compelling. Billy's descent into desperation is portrayed with nuance and intensity, and the film doesn't shy away from asking difficult questions about morality, sacrifice, and identity.

In an era where many films feel formulaic, Billy dares to be different. It brings a unique cinematic tone and vision that sets it apart. Gritty, creative, and deeply human, this is a film that lingers.

Kudos to the entire team for delivering something so original. The script is sharp, the direction confident, and the storytelling refreshingly bold.

Billy is the endearing piano player who can't seem to catch a break and I found myself both loving/hating how he got himself in this tight spot! I thought his performance was incredible, he carried the whole film spectacularly, and the supporting cast is also quite enjoyable. As both a local Texan, and a film buff, I especially loved the unique location of the flavorful Dallas West Elm district as the seedy underbelly birthing all this incredible drama. Bravo to all involved, from the creative script, to the talented actors, the amazing production crew, and the brilliant producers for creating this must-see amazing film!

What a great indie film! I felt like I was watching a John Cassavetes film, it was so good. It's a story of the inner struggle of a man trying to make his way in a world where things seem to be against him at every turn. The twists and turns that take him thru a very long night are at times drama and at times comedic. The cast is spot on, especially Billy, the piano playing central character. The folks he interacts with during the film are all memorable in there own way.

This film is complete departure from what is being churned out by the big studios, and offers something unique to the viewer. Highly recommend!

Admittedly a friend of my husband's is in this film and they made it in Deep Ellum, Dallas. I thought the acting was amazing. The shots were great too and it was so good to see Dallas represented on the screen.

I laughed out loud a bunch and I loved the old movie feel. It felt like an old movie but still fast paced.

My only one thing to say would be that the App it is on was a little weird. Good quality but lots of ads. And it was difficult to navigate.

Overall I loved the film and I didn't really expect to and I was definitely caught off guard when I laughed during inappropriate times. I'd definitely recommend and hope this comes out to other platforms.
