Synopsis

Sunshine is a modern day New York City cowboy: a freelance web designer with a bad temper who lives by his own rules. He’s a man of few words- mostly because throat cancer destroyed his voice box and he speaks only with the aid of an electrolarynx. The Legend of Sunshine is a tall tale sung by subway musicians of this man’s battle- both to end public smoking and to quiet his own raging conscience. It’s the story of how one person can change things, and how you don’t need a voice box to make yourself heard.

With music by Nick Moore
