JUNCTION is written and directed by award winning writer Tony Glazer, recipient of the prestigious L. Arnold Weissberger Award, and stars David Zayas (Dexter); Oscar® nominated Michael O'Keefe (Michael Clayton); Anthony Rapp (Rent); Anthony Ruivivar (Cinemax's "Banshee"); Neal Bledsoe (Revolutionary Road); 2-Time Daytime Emmy Award Winner Tom Pelphrey (Guiding Light); Harris Doran (My Best Day) Summer Crockett Moore (Law & Order) ; Sharon Maguire (Off Season) and Danielle Kotch (Person of Interest). The film follows four strung-out meth-addicts who discover a dark secret about a homeowner during a burglary, pitting them not only against the police but against each other. And as they spiral out of control toward the explosive climax the lines blur between right and wrong until the final unexpected twist is revealed.
"I am deeply honored that JUNCTION has received a PRISM Award nomination," said writer/director Tony Glazer. "I wanted to write a thriller about people living in the wake of their choices, while also shedding light on the tragic realities of meth addiction. It is my hope that this nomination will bring even more awareness to that end." "We are thrilled to be nominated, and it touches my heart that the four-meth addicted characters in this film, characters that I have grown to love so deeply, will now continue on to reach an even wider audience," Summer Crockett Moore (Producer/Actress: Choice Films).
"We are proud to be the distributor of JUNCTION and congratulate Tony Glazer and Summer Crockett Moore, on their nomination, as well as their producing partners, Roy McDonald and Pat Patterson," said Grand Entertainment Group President, David Rand. "From concept to completion Tony Glazer does an outstanding job. Tony is a gifted scribe, giving the audience a true and authentic look in to the lives of these drug addicts and the tragedies that ensue. This coupled with strong performances from an exceptional ensemble cast make this film remarkable and noteworthy."
