Road to Victory is a truly moving film, shot beautifully! It's a shame more films don't address such personal issues, like Road To Victory. When I watched this film, I was taken into a story of young man's struggle with himself and new relationships. What I learned was more about myself than I expected. I was unprepared for the raw, emotional and honest performances given by Julia Anderson, Michael Reilly and Peter Abrams. I wish RTV Film Productions all the best for this film and that it may reach the greater public and the world. I think we could all learn something from this story.Kudos to you and your crew for taking a risk so great and making a beautiful film. I look forward to what they have in store.

Being somewhat of a "Guy film" buff, this movie brought me to a new understanding of Atheletes, Men and just life in general for the young and in love, and did it without one car chase, violence, or raw, unmoving act of tasteless sex. This is a thinker, you will leave pondering the plot for days, and not altogether sure you wanted to in the first place! It is an eye opener and an art piece in one package. This is also a film for Couples embarking on life together, to see first hand what commitment really means. My only criticism at all is based on the lack of a few drops of water and my limited attention span, (I'm fully ADD) and I'd recommend this to anyone with a heart and a brain. Kudos to the Fine Artists whose performances were truly convincing and moving. Mygod... I even shed a tear or two! Julia is Stunning, warm and very "screen savvy"! Gimme MORE! Mike, this being his first acting role, has set a new archetype for macho and will very likely be seen more and more on the big screen. Can he Kung Fu? We all wanna find that one out! Regardless as Director he has assured himself a place in the "city of lights" should he choose to pursue that occupation! He has promised us another film soon, and it sounds stunning. Worth the see, worth the resulting ponder and for sure a very moving piece of film. AAA+++

Seriously, I've been going to festivals for years, and more times than not what I have been subjected to lately is complete crap.Road To Victory however, has true substance. Really, it's everything that we used to think of when it came to independent film: smart script, good acting, and aptly shot. And the subject matter of drug use in sport, along with the social commentary on medicine could not be more timely. We used to rely on independent film to tackle these subjects, so it is great to see that some filmmakers are still trying to do some good with their work.The trend of film festivals lately seems to be a name actor, or a gimmick, attached to a laurel leaf. Many festivals are starting to become the exact thing they started out not to be.I predict this film will be a hit on DVD once it is done playing at the festival circuits.

I saw this film at the San Fernando Valley Film Festival based upon a rec from one of the festival programmers, and I have to admit, that I was a little hesitant given the subject matter of the movie.I promised myself that I would give the film 10 minutes, and if I didn't like it, I would walk (hey, it was a free screening).From the outset, I found myself intrigued by the tone of the film. It was immediately clear that the film, at the very least, had integrity.As the film progressed, i kept finding myself more and more sucked in, until by the end of the movie, I was really emotionally involved. So much so, that I found myself thinking about the film even a few days later.I don't really want to say anything about what the film is about because that was one of the things that I enjoyed the most about my viewing experience; that I didn't know what it was really about, and given the film's originality, it made my viewing experience that much better.Having given the film so much thought, I would be really interested to see it again, as I think that it might be an even richer experience on a second viewing.If you like intelligent, well-written movies with compelling performances, then I highly recommend giving Road To Victory a try.
