"John Cassini's performance is imbued with a special resonance and sense of theatrical showmanship. The very clever script is seasoned with some particularly sharp verbal-visual gags.." - Variety

Break A Leg, Monika Mitchell's multiple award-winning debut feature, is an excellent (and very funny) example of Do It Yourself independent movie-making.

What would you do it one person stood between you and your life-long dream... again and again? Mitchell's brilliant black comedy is the rags-to-riches tale of a talented working-actor who can't get a break - so he makes one. Despite his obvious talent, Max Matteo is always the second choice for career-making parts. He continually loses the great roles to a producer's talent less nephew, or to drug-addled Tinsel town has-beens with more "marketable" names. So Max is forced to claw his way to the top of the Hollywood food chain with raw talent - and a baseball bat.

Mitchell's feature film debut boasts an intelligent and heart-felt script, stylish direction, laugh-out-loud gags and an exceptional acting ensemble. Jennifer Beals, Molly Parker, Barry Primus, Kevin Corrigan and Eric Roberts (as the "marketable" name) round out the outstanding cast.
