the backdrop sets the harsh reality that has become Radford's character, dim, dreary, broken and disheartening, which, in turn, represents also, this character who has been chewed up and spat out by an unrelenting, unforgiving and simply unkind industry of which he was formerly a player on the field of. His captivating eye contact with the camera (his audience) draws you into his world undone. Wade Radford captures the essence of a broken twink with his intense on screen presence.
