‘Lucky Jack’ to Premiere at the Jersey Shore Film Fest
The Jersey Shore Film Festival will be showcasing Lucky Jack, an independent documentary about a pizza delivery guy from the Newark projects, 30, a high school dropout, with two kids, who, above all odds, follows his dream and becomes a neurosurgical resident at a top New York City hospital. It will debut June 22 at Basie Center Cinemas in Red Bank.
The compelling doc focuses on one man’s will to succeed despite significant personal and societal challenges to transform his life in a doggedly determined desire of tenacity and grim persistence. The Executive Producer, Steve Edwards, is the son of the subject. Edwards is the President of The New Jersey Hall Of Fame. He hopes his film will inspire others who are facing seemingly insurmountable obstacles.
“Some of my first memories of life in the 1960s are playing by the surf in Belmar & Bradley
Beach,” says Edwards. “I can’t think of a more perfect NJ film festival venue to debut Lucky Jack than the prestigious Jersey Shore Film Festival. I hope the film lifts its audiences and reminds them that we’re all a sum of all our thoughts, and that we can will so many of our dreams into reality. The film is also a testament to the human spirit and our ability to overcome adversity and realize our highest and best sense of self.”
