In 1992, a group of young creatives led by writer/director Robert Diaz LeRoy, came together to create a film that could serve as a voice for the voiceless, telling a story that would bring attention to the plight of  homeless people living in the streets of America.  It was a difficult journey from the beginning, as there were scant resources, very little money, and almost no cooperation from corporate America.  With fierce determination, the filmmakers assembled a volunteer cast  and crew,  found a company that would give them the needed resources to produce the movie, and secured enough financing to ensure its completion.

         Joining the cast was jazz great, Teddy Edwards, known as first tenor saxophone of be-bop, whose stellar music career included performances with jazz legends Charlie Parker and Dexter Gordon ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teddy_Edwards  )  Teddy would play the role of 'Marcus', a down-on-his-luck musician, homeless, who struggles to regain his voice, his expression, and his musical livelihood, but finds himself caught in a downward spiral. This would be Teddy's only performance as an actor, but as the man proved so many times throughout his musical career, hit all the 'right notes',  creating a powerfully emotional character remembered for his genuine love of music.
