Synopsis: (Drama) 'The End of Blessings' follows an African American cyclist on his weekly Sunday ride past an older Italian couple who sit on their porch after church. This quiet, understated film deals with the nuance of their exchanges as it takes us on a series of uphill journeys that reflect the life journeys of us all.

Crew: Writers: Jim Daniels; Producers: Jim Daniels, Jonathan Joseph, John Rice; composer: Jeff Berman; sound: Andrew Halasz
