The screening is a personal thank you from the cast and crew and to all who have supported the making of the film and the message it encompasses. During the production of Boston2Philly, many major events and tragedies occurred that left the world outraged and families and strangers alike searching for answers. This movie touches on many of these major issues and showcases them in a very unique and innovative way rarely seen on film. Boston2Philly shows us the real Philly, all the beauty and all of the ugly. Celestin exclaims, "it shows us life and that is something we all can relate to". We are honored to be a part of Ralph's budding career by attending the premiere!

The film chronicles the life of Rome “Boston” Williams (Ralph Celestin), a young Black male from Boston, struggling with his identity and his ability to form real relationships in his new city of Philadelphia after a tragic accident takes the lives of his family. Set on a fictional Philadelphia University campus, Rome encounters Professor Balan, who challenges his freshmen class (Philly, G, and Rye Rye) to develop a deeper relationship with their “inner-selves”, along with connecting on a more personal level with their peers. As an incentive, Balan offers the shocking monetary reward of $50,000, pushing his students to explore their own broken, violent pasts and those of their peers in a way they never thought imaginable. Through an exploration of each others’ histories, the group of diverse freshman slowly become a cohesive group, initially bonded by the chase of the cash reward, but glued by their shared fears, hopes, and dreams.

Both melodramatic and comedic, poignant and enlightening, through the personal journeys of the students, Boston2Philly reminds us all that sometimes the first step to true success comes from understanding who you were, who you are, and where you are going. Beautifully said! We couldn't have summed a better message to come from our dear friend Ralph Celestin. His passion and commitment to his family and friends is evident in his depiction of Rome's life in this beautiful and tragic coming-of-age story. We can't wait to see him on the big screen!
 
As a celebration of local talent and Philadelphia’s burgeoning independent art scene, the Boston2Philly Private Screening Event will be accompanied by a live Q & A from Philadelphia-based Actors after the viewing.
