When we first meet Anthony, we're meeting
a man who is really struggling to get by
in an economy where there's not a whole
lot of opportunity for him and he sees
opportunity selling drugs, he takes it, he
gets caught up in drugs so his mind is
not in the right place and he pays the
price for it; He ends up getting busted and
he goes to prison for three years. So
when anthony gets out of prison he's
matured a lot but he's still holding
onto a lot of anger, and that anger
erupts with his father and winds up
going to the hospital. And in order to
save him, he has to step back into that
world of crime in order to get the money
that they need to save their father's
life/  So that's the struggle that Anthony
has to deal with; is facing a world that
he has worn off, but he has to face in
order to save his Dad.  It's about
survival, it's about family, it's about
love, and I think that's something that
everybody can relate to; is seeing
characters that are forced into a
situation that's dangerous and seeing
them fight through it.
The thing that really drew me to this
script was a relationship of the
brothers.  I'm the oldest of four boys and
not only that but the relationship that
Anthony has with his father was
something that I really identified
within my own life and I knew that I
could really bring that to the screen
and explore that for the project.
