An
autistic boxer and a nomadic stripper form a tenuous friendship
that helps them both to better understand the world that
appears to have left them both behind. Noah Connelly (Michael
Worth) is an aspiring boxer from Oakland, California. Most
of Noah's days are spent cleaning the floors at his local
gym, patiently waiting for the perfect moment when he'll
finally step into the ring and his future will come into
focus. To the casual observer Noah leads an entirely unremarkable
existence, though exotic dancer Alexia (Margot
Farley) is far from the casual observer. One day, after
crossing paths seemingly by chance, Noah and Alexia begin
to affect the way Alexia views the opposite sex. To this
point in her life, Alexia has taken a somewhat transient
approach to relationships. Now, as her friendship with
Noah begins to show signs of becoming something more serious,
Alexis discovers that her approach to love may hint at
a deeper pain that she isn't sure she possesses the power
to confront. Encouraged
by the owner of the gym (John Saxon) to introduce Alexia
to his family, Noah invites her on a journey that will
take her out of her comfort zone while challenging her
entire perception of love. Perhaps if Alexia can find the
courage to confront her deepest fears, Noah can summon
the self-confidence to strap on the gloves and prove himself
as a true pugilist. Jason

The Method Fest International Film Festival - "Worth
creatively draws the parallels of human loneliness and
longing that bring these two people together in an unforgettably
touching story ofthe heart."
Las Vegas Movie Examiner - "it is
a movie even an old unromantic zombie lover like me can
enjoy. Oh, and great date movie material for sure. Great
acting, a good script and performances that are top notch.
A must see." Terra King, Las Vegas Movie Examiner
Awards
2008 VisionFest Domani Vision Award for Emerging
Talent Michael Worth. New
York City, VISIONFEST 08: The Other Festival, ended its five-day
run last night, at the Tribeca Grand Hotel Screening Room,
with its "closing night" Official Selection, God's
Ears, directed by Michael Worth, and its 2008 Awards Ceremony,
which saw the aforementioned film walk off with two of the
film festival's most coveted awards: the Domani Vision Award
for Emerging Talent, and the Jack Nance "Breakthrough
Performance" Award. Both awards were presented to Michael
Worth; the first honoring him as a filmmaker, and the second,
recognizing his powerful acting turn. Worth first took to
the podium with his mother, who stated that while she's not
a writer, an actor, or a director, she affectionately added: "But
I'm a real good producer," obviously referring to her
son as he raised his award in the air. Michael Worth then
added: "This is the first time I've ever won anything
like this. I'm just really honored."
