Film Description:

A Brooklyn boy writes a love letter of departure for his lady, which in reality is his birthplace and hometown. Upon walking to a mailbox, the young man becomes entranced by her beauty, and embarks on a journey that visualizes how he views his true love and how important she is to his being. Home is where your heart is, and his will always reside in Brooklyn.

Filmmaker's Comment:

My first fully ambitious film project. It began in October 2008, completed in April 2009. Nearly the greatest six months of my life thus far, I mean--I'm only 17, hehe. I hope you all enjoy watching it as much as I enjoyed making it. I was so passionate during the process, I lost count of the man hours that was put into this. This project and what it represents is very personal, and I hope you get a feel of that as you watch. Feedback and critique is certainly welcomed. Thank you =D.

    Thank you, glad it could serve as a pick-me-up for you :). And yep, I'm trying to do my best--at whatever I wind up doing, don't really know the specific type of artist I want to be yet...so I'll just dabble in everything I can.
