Reminiscent of Sex and the City meets The Perks of Being a Wallflower, Patricia Leavy's Film Blue is a captivating and inspiring story about the pursuit of dreams and what it truly means to live a "big" life.A couple of years after finishing college, Tash Daniels has put her love of filmmaking on the back burner. She's working retail, club-hopping, and scraping by to pay the rent. Usually attracted to the wrong guy, she's at a loss when she finally falls for the right one. Sexy deejay Aidan is living his life authentically as an artist and encourages her to do the same. Will she open her heart? Will she bet on herself and her dreams? Is a girl with a dream truly on her own in the world? Tash's friends are along for the journey: Jason Woo, lighthearted model on the rise; Penelope Waters, earnest graduate student with a secret no one suspects; Lu K, fiercely independent hot-girl deejay; and Monroe Preston, the glamorous wife of a Hollywood studio head. Frequently bathed in the glow of the silver screen, the characters show us how the arts can reignite the light within, pushing us to confront our fears so we can choose how to live in the present. Film Blue is a novel about following our passions, the hidden side of our dreams, the power of art, what it means to truly live a "big" life, and finding the people to go with us on our journey.
A tribute to 1980s pop culture set against the backdrop of contemporary New York and Los Angeles, Film Blue celebrates how the art we experience and make can shape our stories, frame by frame.
