The War Days Student Film at the Spotlight today and KGET interviews - By N.L. Belardes

KGET was out at Curran Middle School today to interview that very creative director of The War Days student film, Landen Belardes. Tonight, The War Days premieres for a one-time show at the Spotlight Theatre at 6:30 pm.

I wandered down to see what all the haps was about. I met KGET reporter, Natasha... she did a great job interviewing The War Days director for the news today. Landen was a bit gun shy but she still dragged some good info out of him. Those directors, they get tongue-tied because they're always thinking about their next great flick. Reminded me of my own interview with the director when he talked of dodging cows, cow patties, stinging nettles and blowing up marshmallow peeps in the microwave.

Actor Shaun Alaniz gave a great interview and that was followed up with some good discussion about kid creativity that can inspire other kids throughout the city...

Why not? "Kids dream. They just need to realize their dreams, act them out," I said.

I asked KGET to come out tonight to the premiere. Will they show up? I don't know. They just might.

But you should.

There are few tickets left for the movie that's followed by four local bands whose music was donated for the film...
