WHO ARE YOU..? WHO AM I..?
Directed by Russ Emanuel (in his feature film directorial debut) and starring John Heard (Cutter's Way, Home Alone), Howard Nash (Children of the Night), Vincent Pastore (The Sopranos), Patricia Rae (Maria Full of Grace), Robert Picardo (Wonder Years, Star Trek: Voyager), Hallie Kate Eisenberg (Bicentennial Man, Pepsi Commercials), Glynnis O'Connor (The Boy in the Plastic Bubble), Eddie Malavarca (Oz). A PJ Pictures LLC film.
In this recently completed 91 minute feature film, a man (PJ), has witnessed a horrific accident and subsequently retreats within himself. He barely talks, and doesn't even know who he is. He is brought to a hospital where the resident doctor tries to get through to him with the help of PJ's bitter ex-girlfriend. All the while, the doctor is fighting his own life's demons, and an out-of-touch supervisor who wants PJ permanently committed.
Relevant questions of God and faith are tackled in this dramatic, yet inspiring film based on Mark Mcquown's award-winning play.
