Made in USA

A Gripping Tale of Passion and Power

Under the direction of award-winning independent filmmaker Jan Egleson, Big Time brings Keith Reddin’s critically acclaimed play to life. Starring Mia Sara, Dennis Boutsikaris, and Adrian Pasdar, this 1980s-set drama unravels the toxic love triangle of three ambitious individuals navigating the fast-paced, materialistic world of the era. A tale of power, deception, and desire, the film exposes the darker side of human ambition, where love and greed intertwine with devastating consequences.

Praised for its innovative cinematography by Paul Goldsmith, whose techniques have influenced major films, Big Time captures the intensity of its characters with dynamic camera movements and striking visuals. With nods to the cinematic style of Jean-Luc Godard, this film is both visually and narratively compelling.
