A LOOK IN
THE REAR VIEW
On the night before his wedding, a 26-year old groom looks back on his senior year of high school, the year he believes he became an adult. Tim, however, does not reflect on this memorable, transitional and highly personal year alone. No, with the aid of cognac, this non-drinking groom willingly shares with his new drinking buddies the many awkward, embarrassing exploits of his teenage self.
Along Tim’s journey to adulthood, we meet many colorful and interesting characters who contribute to Tim’s transition. Okay, some really don’t contribute anything in that way—but are funny (we hope) or have other “redeeming” qualities.
A Look in the Rear View: It’ll have you laughing, thinking, and maybe even crying — but mostly laughing!

A Note from the Director
After retiring from a long legal career, I thought it might be time to sit back, relax, and—you know, retire. But something was tugging at me, pulling me to tell my story. No, not a story about me. I love to laugh, and I love to make others laugh, and this is what my story would be about. If it made you think, or get emotional at times, all the better, but at the end of the day it was a comedy.
As I wrote and rewrote the screenplay, my audience was my son. We laughed a ton in the process, and that alone would have made it all worthwhile. But throughout the production process, the rewards continued. As I directed, what I saw on the monitor was consistently much better than what I had written on paper, thanks to the remarkable cast and crew. While the writer and director (me) was a newbie, they were not, and it showed! And the same for the post-production team; their experience, talent and hard-work took things to an even higher level!
With the film now complete, I am incredibly proud of what our team has put together. I am excited that our film is now streaming, and we are able to share it with audiences near and far!
