Carl Reed, a 27 year old single father and recently released ex convict struggles to find work before the week is up in order to pay his overbearing grandmother rent money before she kicks him out of the house. As his crunch for time nears its deadline, he is forced to choose between doing the right thing and doing what put him in jail in the first place.
Director's Statement
Levittown, Pennsylvania is a suburban area that I grew up in just north of Philadelphia. Driving through it, one would look and see typical working class homes. What an outsider wouldn't know, is the manor in which most of the people inside those homes live their lives. This film, while tagged with the word fiction, shouts reality as the majority of the characters are based on real people and real stories that I know and knew personally. Enjoy!
