Happy New Year directed by Lorrel Manning
Starring Michael Cuomo Happy New Year is a film about veterans of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and the consequences of PTSD. The film made its world premiere at South by Southwest this past spring, where they wound up adding extra screenings due to the demand for this film. It's one of the most buzz laden films of this year's LRFF. Director Lorrel Manning and actor Michael Cuomo will both be in attendance and we're very excited to meet them. It looks to be a very moving film. As a side note/bonus the film also features actor Alan Dale aka Charles Widmore from LOST (that makes two actors from the show in films at this year's festival). You should definitely take the time to check this film out and come back to our site for our interview with Mr. Manning and Mr. Cuomo. Click here for the trailer.
Bright directed by Benjamin Busch
Writer/Direct Benjamin Busch is best known for his recurring role on HBO's The Wire and luckily for us he's been able to make a short film featuring members of the cast of it as well as Generation Kill. The film is about the character of Troy who is trying to overcome his fears with the help of his blind adopted father Irwin. LRFF Shorts Programmer Jacob LeMaster recently told us about this film and how amazing it is to watch, as you can see here. We're very intrigued by the trailer for this film and can't wait to see it.
