Film Courage Interactive Screening Series Featuring Shooting April August 30, 2010

LA Talk Radio's Film Courage co-hosts David Branin and Karen Worden will feature the premiere screening event for Shooting April, written and directed by Tod Lancaster. Shooting April is a raw, disturbing depiction of three young guys from the YouTube Generation. To this brave new generation - and for Truman, Weasel and Doug in particular - the video camera is king. From arguments to pranks to death-defying stunts, they record it all. Even the sexual conquests of the group's alpha male, Truman, become little more than fodder for the video camera. Then Truman's sexual advances are rebuffed by a girl he had considered easy prey: a shy teenager named April, who genuinely likes Truman but isn't ready to take it to the next level. Truman strong-arms the others into accepting a wager: either he convinces April to have sex with him or he owes them each a hundred bucks. With his reputation on the line, Truman has no intention whatsoever of taking "no" for an answer.

The Film Courage Interactive is a three-part event featuring 1) Two short films with Directors’ Q & A; 2) A feature film screening of Shooting April with Director’s Q&A; and 3) An in-depth discussion among fellow artists on upcoming projects, the current state of independent film, and epiphanies about the business (similar to a filmmaker support group).

The goal of the Film Courage Interactive is to build an appetite for independent film, bringing artists together in a collaborative setting while experiencing the beautiful theater of The Downtown Independent.
