Ode to Passion (2020)

Ode to Passion: Directed by Jack Danini. With Giuseppe Bausilio, Julia Nightingale, Jeff Smith, Victoria Meade. In New York City, a young writer’s resolute belief in true love is put to the test by a beautiful girl and her struggle with addiction. This original rock musical drama is made unique by its non-musical scenes spoken purely in verse.

“I really liked the songs, some are light hearted and others dig deep in. I loved the cinematography, So many shots could be postcards. I thought the acting looked very natural, never did it feel over acted. I loved the youthfulness of the main characters held up by their mature friends. Most of all I loved the versed melodic dialogue intertwined with the songs. A beautiful quilt that warms the heart. It drags a bit at the beginning but what a powerful ending.”
