The War Days film controversy - by N.L. Belardes

There's so much talk about The War Days movie premiere on the war days blog... (please leave a comment too so we can let the community know how exciting it is to have kids creating great art). There's going to be a big premiere, but it's all being kept under wraps. Next thing you know this movie is going to bump Star Wars May 19th debut at the ArcLight....

The War Days, a student film by Director Landen Belardes includes kids from both Curran Middle School and Tevis Junior High. In a bold George Lucas-esque move, War Days film director Landen Belardes stated recently, "I think we need a bigger release for this film. Everyone is so excited I think we need to have a big Hollywood type of showing." Distributing without a big showing became an even bigger issue recently. "Why should we distribute our film without a media showing? That wouldn't be too cool," Belardes stated. He indicated a media blitz showing and hinted this may take place at a major downtown venue or at Curran Junior High itself.

The War Days is an exciting all-student film with a special cameo appearance by a local celebrity. The film features local music from bands such as The Filthies, Broken Record Gospel, Liars and Thieves, Seven to the Right, the Dalloways, and Norfolk.
