Broken Dreams
“Broken Dreams” is a gritty coming-of-age story about a young filmmaker, Johnny (Eddie Navarro), and his two lifelong best friends, Ryan (Jake Olson) and Elisabeth (Kelsey Ford), who are dealing with the changes that occur as they enter adulthood. Johnny is trying to complete his documentary about a 3'8"agoraphobic little person, Julie (Nicole Gerth), when he finds out that Ryan, a law student, has asked Elisabeth to marry him. Since Elisabeth hasn’t given Ryan an answer yet, Johnny hopes that he still might have a chance to be more than friends with Elisabeth.
While making his documentary, Johnny has also developed a deep bond with Julie and becomes more of a mentor than director to Julie. As Johnny helps Julie overcome her fears, can Julie help Johnny overcome his own?
Johnny's multiple pursuits lead him to a new pill called “the blues” to give him “three more hours a day." Once Johnny starts taking “the blues,” he becomes more obsessed and prone to severe mood swings. His dealer, Tony (John Nicholas), then cuts him off from the drug, sending Johnny down a dangerous path to get more, putting Johnny and his friends in danger.
