Synopsis:
"Dangerous 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. "Dangerous Perceptions"
focuses on this young researcher and her struggle to find balance
between her personal and professional life; even though someone
is out to destroy her.

Dedicated To:
"Dangerous Perceptions" 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 "Dangerous 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 finance 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
"Dangerous Perceptions" is Dawn Grabowski's most ambitious project to
date.
