Repeat Performance

Music was his refuge. Then the music stopped. After being abandoned by his mother and losing his father to suicide, 17-year-old Sean Purchase (Joseph Manning, The Matrix Revolutions, Xena: Warrior Princess) is about to hit bottom. When an accident takes the life of another, Sean goes on the run from a shattered family, a back-stabbing friend, the law, and even his greatest hope. Filmed on location in New Zealand, Repeat Performance is based on actual events.

Directed by Dale G. Bradley, Repeat Performance leans on a strong ensemble — Lisa Crittenden, Joe Manning, Christopher Page — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1996.
