Fame City (Short Film)

Ryan parks his car in a residential neighborhood with a heavy heart. He attempts to call an unknown person, leaving a voicemail about his return to Canton, Ohio, and his desire to reconnect. Then he starts his journey of self-reflection as he goes to various areas around the Pro Football Hall of Fame city, reflecting on his relationship with his grandmother, drug dealing, his past romantic relationship, the trauma of grief, and the fear of raising a child. Ultimately, at a crossroads, Ryan can either make up for past mistakes or leave Fame behind.
