• McCallum, just returned from his inaugural trip to the internationally recognized, star studded Sundance Film Festival. The love of Park City, the adventures he was invited to and attended screenings of films that are going to blow our minds is shared and hinted at a release date on a major network.
This film “ The Sentence”, is a true story by a former Michigander and now New Yorker, Rudy Valdez. The story is powerful, emotional and so real it feels surreal.
