The Story
Tyler Quinn (Steve Calamia) arrives home after 6 years in the Marine Corps, only to find his friends and family are disappointed in him because he was never sent “to war.” With the help of the adorable Annalee Bradley (Bridget Devlin Burke) and an irreverent band of “rebel” swing dancers lead by J.J. Chevalier (Adrian Munteanu), Tyler discovers what it means to "come home".
We have completed a demo/trailer which introduces the main characters and demonstrates Tyler's loneliness and isolation at the outset of the film, hints at a conflict between Annalee and her dad, and also showcases some of the talent and humor of our dance ensemble. The full film is planned to run 30 minutes and have a happy ending... Please help Tyler find his way back home!
