Synopsis:

“Hold On,” starring Jackie Julio, Doug Olear (“The Wire,” “Something the Lord Made,”) and Dominic West (“300,” “Chicago”), featuring music by Bruce Springsteen, is a quirky comedy about Rose, a spirited, quadriplegic physicist who goes to extreme measures in her quest for romance. This engaging short film is sprinkled with absurdity and symbolism, adding a little spice for the consummate film lover.

I found the film poignant and funny, very
beautifully made. It’s hard to believe Jackie
Julio never acted before. Her performance
was nuanced and sensitive. I was blown away
by Doug Olear’s performance. A very detailed
and believable character, very different from
him yet pinpoint true at the same time.
Beautiful character work! Bravo!!
