I'm Mike Breyer and our feature film Gradation began in my Jacuzzi in Palm Springs with Lynne Newton while we were shooting our short film Inosculation.  We came up with the concept of a girl from the wrong side of the tracks lands on Wall Street, but things get complicated when love and loyalty get in the way.  Thus began the journey of writing my first feature film.  It really is like shooting three short films with a beginning, middle and end.  Some writing days worked and others did not.  Taking a break and returning to the script allowed a fresh outlook on what was written already.  Don't tell anyone, but there were only about fifty pages written that was given out to cast and crew.  I knew we would be adding scenes and improving a lot.  This film seems like a drama, but it is actually a comedy at its core.  

I was very happy with our locations especially The Bank located in Palm Springs, CA.  This was the location that brought our New York office scenes into fruition.  This modern space was perfect for interpreting our vision of filming in New York without having to actually do it.  We filmed in LA at a musicians studio and even at some of our cast members homes including our own home in Palm Springs.

In addition, I truly love watching actors play tennis with the lines I wrote for Gradation.  From pen to paper to set and edit is what does it for me.  I am an actor at my core, but filmmaking has become my passion because I have a little more control over the final edit and presentation.  Being a Virgo, I hope you understand.  I am thrilled where I have gone after shooting, starring, writing, editing and directing four short films.  Those films allowed me the confidence to shoot this feature film without hesitation.

Moreover, I  want to thank you for stopping by and viewing our trailer.  A lot of hard work, money and effort went into it and everyone involved seems to agree we should be on Netflix and other pay streaming outlets.  I am convinced we will and I won't stop until it happens.  We don't have A list stars but we have superior up and coming actors all of whom have major acting credits in film and television as well as national commercials and industrials.  Thank you for going on this journey with all of us.  We appreciate your support and for taking the time to dollop through our website.  There is much more to come and thank you so much cast and crew!

Much love,
