Rebekah
Starr is an up and coming rock musician from Pennsylvania with big
dreams, who decides to document her move to Los Angeles in an attempt
to break into the big time and ends up as the next big musical
success on the Sunset Strip. Using the life of a rockstar as a sort
of escape from her crumbling marriage, Rebekah pushes her passions to
the limit in order to achieve her goals even it takes hurts a friend
or two in the process in My Way (2012), co-directed by
Dominique Mollee and Vinny Sisson.
The
film stars out with her humble roots and duo of friends that help get
her start. She is constantly butting heads with foreign friend
Annika, who comes along for the journey and once they land in L.A.,
starts to get easily offended and feeling like an outsider to the
band. They start to get some notice, however, as Rebekah pushes and
helps enjoy life outside of her element.
The
documentary features interview with some big names in Rock including
Rikki Rockett (Poison), Steven Adler (Guns N' Roses), Chip Z' Nuff
(Enuff Z'Nuff), and pornstar Ron Jeremy that give different outside
perspectives on the music industry and how they know the girls
personally.
Presented
in an anamorphically enhanced standard definition with a 1.78:1
widescreen aspect ratio, most of the film is shot on low budget
digital video and have some interlacing issues. Most of the
interviews are shot on finer HD and look a bit better. The audio
track is lossy Dolby Digital 2.0 Stereo track that sounds fine due to
the low budget nature of the film.

Features include Interviews with Rikki Rockett (Poison), Steven Adler
(Guns N' Roses), Chip Z'Nuff (Enuff Z' Nuff'', Music Videos for
Rebekah Starr Band's My Way, Irrational Boy (starring Ron
Jeremy), and a Theatrical Trailer.
