Wire Walker By Emilio Iasiello
Directed by Krista Libertino

1970s. FLORENCE, A new flyer joins one of the last of the struggling outdoor circuses, which have been folding one by one. Billed as the new star, she develops a strange relationship with one of the hired jack-of-all-trades workers, JOHNNY, a sarcastic, withdrawn man. Despite his antagonism for all things circus, she spies on him teaching wire walking to the owner’s nephew, TOMMY, only to learn that JOHNNY is a famed wire walker himself who had disappeared from the circus scene a decade earlier after an accident. As FLORENCE tries to figure out why JOHNNY quit, a scout from one of the big circuses is making a deal for FLORENCE’s rights. As the owner fights to keep his circus running without having his star stolen and the rest of his circus broken and sold by parts, TOMMY’s impudence leads him to do something rash. There is only one person that has a chance of saving TOMMY – and that’s JOHNNY, a man trying to live down his reputation at every and all cost.
