BREAK NIGHT is a police thriller movie made for less than $50,000 in eight days (with on-location filming in Oakland, California). A conversation with Producer, Barbara Barrielle.

The movie tells the story of Jimmy Hill, a lifetime criminal who has one night to repay a debt before he can leave town and win back the love of his now drug-addicted former girlfriend.

A former partner and a burned-out cop are just two of the obstacles in his way.
