A low budget film about a country singer's rise to fame. The lead actor can really sing and the overall soundtrack is worth listening to over and over.

Rated: 5/10

This movie will speak to your heart, both story and music. This beautiful story was about loss, forgiveness, love and triumph. I was deeply moved and inspired as it continued to pull me in. Must watch for sure. "When God closes one door, he always opens another". Well done, The world needs more stories like this.

I really enjoyed this film! It follows the story of a country boy, T.J., and his rise to fame as a musician. Actor John Way has a beautiful voice, and the expertly written original soundtrack drives the film. But it's not just a simple narrative arc from farm to stage. It delves into the difficulties of relationships, family expectations, and the unexpected tragedies that may befall us. Luckily, in the case of T.J., love by the name of "Sunshine" helps him through his difficult times. There are always "second chances".

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

What a pleasant surprise to find this charming film. The performances are all solid, with special recognition to Debra Ann Byrd as the Physician's Assistant - she's one to watch. The songs are all well-crafted and executed ... Savanah D. McMahon's voice is lovely.
