STORY SYNOPSIS

"Broken Dreams" is a character-driven, coming-of-age story about love, friendship and addiction. Struggling young filmmaker Johnny (Eddie Navarro), is trying to complete his documentary about an agoraphobic little person, Julie (Nicole Gerth), when he finds out his best friend Ryan (Jake Olson) has asked his other best friend Elisabeth (Kelsey Ford) to marry him. Since Elisabeth hasn't given Ryan an answer yet, Johnny hopes that he can still be more than friends with her. Johnny turns to a new pill called "the blues" to give him "three more hours a day" to help him balance his pursuits. But when Johnny's dealer Tony (John Nicholas) cuts Johnny off, Johnny has to go down a dangerous path to get more, putting Johnny and his friends in danger.

Subplot: While making his documentary, Johnny becomes more of a friend and mentor to Julie than a director. As Johnny helps Julie overcome her fears, can Julie help Johnny overcome his own?
