SATELLITE is a romantic
fable about a young couple who give up everything they have in order to find
something better. KEVIN and RO meet and fall in love in a weekend. In order
to preserve their relationship and avoid past mistakes, they swear to never
lie to each other and to dare each other to do the things they're avoiding
or are afraid of. They bet every single thing they have in this life on the
relationship. They quit their jobs, sell their possessions, and begin stealing
to make ends meet. And they would be incredibly happy except Ro has a deep
secret, to tell might break them up forever, but the not telling is driving
them apart. SATELLITE is in post production right now, please check back for
updates and festival info.
