Adrian Paul plays business
man Frank Newcome in this independent action/drama produced
by Nimbus 9 Productions.
After
graduating from college in Chicago, Cal Rowan (played
by Scott Miles "October
Sky") has finally come home. He only plans on staying
long enough to raise some money and then he's gone again.
The
promise of a business deal in Chicago lures every fiber
of
his being, but the need to help his childhood friend
Andre
(played by Earl C. Poitier "Drum Line")
and his
feelings
for
a
girl named Ashby ultimately prove
paramount.
Little Chicago is a sometimes
humorous, sometimes
heartbreaking
tale that keeps you fully
engaged as
the
characters struggle to find their place
in, or away
from,
the town known as "Little Chicago."

Because Adrian boasts a dance background and did terrific footwork as Duncan MacLeod in Highlander, he was asked - will there be any dancing in this film? He laughed and replied, “No. This is Little Chicago – not Chicago.”
Adrian portrays a mysterious stranger who is one of André’s customers. “He’s a businessman scoring drugs -- and we find out later why,” Adrian says. Miles adds, “He’s very British, very upper class, very refined. Compared to André’s other customers, he seems out of place.”

There is nothing little about Little Chicago. This movie is going to be HUGE…HUGE!
Actually, it was interesting working with students, which I hadn’t done before. I was really surprised at the knowledge these kids have at their craft. It was like they had read all the text books, studied a lot of film and knew a lot of technical data. Now they were getting the practical experience. Keep your eyes open – I think you will find some of these kids working in this industry later on
There is not as much pressure when you do an independent movie. You can be a little more creative sometimes, I think. The machine doesn’t govern you, you govern the machine. The best was when the producer talked to somebody about getting a trailer from the RV place up the road. We all stayed in that. We really appreciated it because the weather was kind of humid and it was a comfortable air-conditioned bus with a TV and everything else.
North Carolina was a very different way of life than I am used to. It is humid, yes, but it is just different. It reminds me of the South quite a bit, right down to the columns in the house where we shot. I would shoot again in that area. It was a nice little break from L.A.
