Ripples (2009 Feature Film)

In this world, no one is a stranger. In Ripples, eleven peoples lives are changed for better or for worse. The film is set in New York, a place where its possible to live for 80 years and never see the same person twice. The story begins when Janet (Danielle Pivetta), a young woman, witnesses the gruesome death of her boyfriend, Ken (John DeMartino III). Following the accident, shes asked her account of the incident by detective James Harrison (Ron Rogell), a man who has a solid grip on his job, but is helplessly watching his marriage fall apart. James estranged wife, Grace (Suzie Vale), learns she has become pregnant, but hesitates before letting him know the good news. Over the next year, Janet sparks two new relationships; one with her new neighbor, Jason (Matt Drago) and another with a struggling actor named Othello (Paul Kelly). While trying to make it to a casting audition, Othello makes an unexpected friend, Tyrell (Alfred E. Rutherford), a psychiatrist who feels no sympathy for his own patients. Unknowingly, this encounter would lead to an event that would forever change the lives of James and Glenn (Marc Williams), a bartender at a local establishment. Ripples asks the question, is life freewill or destiny? Song featured is "The Answer", courtesy of Blindswitch off the album, "Shadows on the Wall" and "Black Hole" by Deirdre Lebrecht
