The Sweet Inspirations
How do you keep on keeping on? From the streets of South Central Los Angeles to New YorkÂ’s Park Avenue, six recording artists attempt to define success, battle self-sabotage and the often brutal music industry. Filmed by Victor Mignatti as a one-man crew, THIS TIME is an emotional music-driven portrait of faith and fearless creativity, following six musicians as they struggle to make peace with the disappointments of their pasts in order to find the strength and determination to continue to follow their dreams. The musicians are legendary Atlantic Records recording artists The Sweet Inspirations (best known as back-up singers for Elvis Presley, Aretha Franklin, Dusty Springfield and countless others), New York cabaret sensation Bobby Belfry, R&B diva Pat Hodges (of Hodges, James & Smith) and producer/composer Peitor Angell, each poised on the brink of their next moment in the spotlight. Woven around a soaring soundtrack, THIS TIME is an uplifting story of hope, persistence and the indomitable power of faith.
