Perceptions, The Movie (2005)
Synopsis:
"Perceptions" is a Psychological Thriller about a stem-cell
researcher. It has several comic one-liners in it, and a touch
of romance. A driven and devoted stem cell researcher, PhD.
Nicole Quest, is influenced in her every day life by classic
television and movies when leading ladies reigned supreme.
As we follow Nicole Quest through the culmination of her life's
work we learn her secret. As in the true classics, the hero has
stamina and goodness, and Dr. Nicole Quest teaches us that her
journey is not about her disadvantages, but about her unique
devotion to prevail under dire circumstances. "Perceptions"
focuses on the young researcher and her struggle to find balance
between her personal and professional life; even though someone
is out to destroy her.

Dedicated To:
Perceptions, The Movie is dedicated to the loving memory of
John Ritter & Christopher Reeve. Two amazing men that had, and
will continue to have a profound effect on my life. The Premiere
of "Perceptions" was themed a "Premiere With A Purpose" to raise
money for The John Ritter and Christopher Reeve Foundations'
Respectively. Both of these foundations are non-profit
organizations.
Christopher Reeve had and will continue to have a major
influence on my career. In 1998, I was the Proud Recipient of
The Christopher Reeve Acting Scholarship Competition. I used the
scholarship money to act in, write, produce, and financed my
first project- my one-woman autobiographical play "Always Going
Up". This project was later adapted into my 35 mm short film
"Shattering Images".
"John was my childhood hero who became my mentor, and
ultimately my friend. John had, and will continue to have, a
tremendous influence on my life."
--Dawn Grabowski
"Perceptions" is Dawn Grabowski's most ambitious project to
date.
Review:
Perceptions The Movie -
A Review by Charlene White November 6, 2006
The new Indie film, "Perceptions" is a gripping psychological
thriller featuring a fine performance by the film's Writer and
Executive Producer, Dawn Grabowski in the lead role of Dr Nicole
Quest. She is a tough yet vulnerable stem-cell research
scientist determined to make a breakthrough as she copes with
the threats of an unknown stalker. While those around her
attempt to protect her, she refuses to give in to fear in spite
of her physical limitations. Through her, we see that our own
perceptions are the true limitations. The film is spiced with
film-noir style flashbacks and comic touches. Jason Ritter is
charmingly funny as a student who is also on the list of
potential suspects. "Perceptions" is an entertaining and
suspenseful film deserving of notice.
