We are fortunate to have this opportunity.”
“Kelly’s Hollywood” tells the intimate story of an aspiring actor who brings his sister, born with Down Syndrome, to Los Angeles to pursue her dream of becoming a Hollywood diva. As her health begins to fail and she becomes increasingly jealous of his fiancee, he is forced to confront his co-dependent sibling relationship and the threat that it poses on his engagement.
