The Closeness of the Horizon
CoffeeHouse Productions
( 05/16/2012 - 06/24/2012 )
Running Time: 100 minutes
It was the Summer of '69 and on the same day that Neil Armstrong walked on the Moon, three teenaged friends from LA's west side set-out on a six-week tour to see the USA and to find high school and college gyms where they could drum-up pick-up games of basketball. The shoes were strictly Converse or Adidas then...and the music on the VW bus’ AM radio was strictly Top 40. But the world would never be more open to possibilities. Except now it’s the mid 90’s and the world is different. Events have transpired that have left one of the three overcome with a burning need to know why a relationship with his former best friend inexplicably disintegrated over the years. So begins a new and different sort of journey for Paul Lewin - incited by the words and music from his past - as he is forced to confront the fragile nature of friendship...and to reconcile the person he once was with the man he has now become.
