New York Money premieres at the Worsham Theatre

Stan Heaton’s short film, New York Money, will screen on Friday, May 13th at 7 P.M. in the Worsham Theater (located on the main level of UK’s Student Center).  The event is free to everyone, but the filmmakers will be taking cash donations to help fund upcoming projects. The film tells the story of Al Valentino (played by Scott Gilbert) who, after losing his job, his home, and his family in a tumultuous economy, joins with his friends to seek revenge on a bank executive. Mike Cleary and Stan Heaton co-star in this character-driven criticism of the American housing crisis and its impact on the middle class.
