Have you ever watched something you wanted to be good, so you allowed it to improve in your mind with each ongoing minute? 

By eliminating, in our minds, the existence of all other films from the genre with which we ought to contrast, we hope a good story survives.

Such is the struggle of Dark Star's digital film release, The Accompanist..

"Have you ever had a dream, then see it fall apart right in front of you?" Dark Star Pictures has released an official trailer for The Accompanist, a romantic drama from filmmaker / actor Frederick Keeve. Keeve not only stars in the film, he wrote and directed it, produced it, and composed the score for it as well. Set in the heart of Los Angeles, The Accompanist tells the story of a troubled ballet star who is seeking a comeback and finds salvation in a piano accompanist who can shift time with his music. When the ballet dancer's boyfriend sees the growing attraction between the dancer and the pianist, an all-out war ensues to see whose love will win out. Also starring Ricky Palomino, Aaron Cavette, and Juliet Doherty. This looks like an intense and passionate romantic drama, dealing with some turbulent personal struggles and serious trauma. Here's the official trailer...
