"Do you ever think maybe you ''made it'' years ago and just didn't realize it?"
Synopsis
When all the other kids in Port Chester, NY went outside to play after school, young Anthony Valbiro raced to his basement rec room...to grab a microphone, turn on the reel-to-reel and croon his heart out. In this film, based on an autobiographical one-man play of the same name, Anthony draws us into the "quest for fame" that was his 1960s childhood. Along the way, we ponder questions about how the people who raise us shape us, what constitutes "success" and at what cost do we pursue our deepest dream.
