Icarus and Aria tells the story of a star college football player and his unlikely love, the teenage daughter of the football team's owner. Icarus comes from a poor family in the barrio, and struggles to separate himself from his brother, Primalo, who leads the latino organized crime ring El Imaginero and will not easily let Icarus escape his influence. This struggle becomes more intense as Icarus tries to find a way out before he and Aria become caught in the crossfire.

Icarus and Aria is a co-production of Gracia Films and Warmblooded Productions and is directed by Jessica Grace Wing. It is based on the verse play of the same name by Kirk Wood Bromley. Principal photography wrapped in March; the film is now in post-production with an expected release date of late summer 2001. The running length will be approximately 15 minutes.
