My Way
Director: Vinny Sisson & Dominique Mollee
Synopsis: “‘My Way‘ begins with the conventional ‘small-town girl livin’ in a lonely (corporate) world.’ Yet instead of taking the midnight train, Rebekah Starr trades her briefcase for a Les Paul, grabs her sassy Estonian tambourine-banging sidekick Annika and hits the highway—destination: Sunset Strip. When Rebekah’s marriage falls apart in real time, we realize her dream is not a whim. It is a burning passion for music that comes with its share of real world sacrifices. Her contagious optimism acts as the film’s through line, hoping to inspire anyone feeling trapped by their circumstances.”
