Premiere! "Ordinary Average Guys"

Published on June 5, 2010

Tonight I attended the premiere for "Ordinary Average Guys". A film directed by Michael Kehoe with supporting actors Jack McGee and Glenn Morshower. 

The night started off with 3 hilarious comics, including Marco Assante, who was also in the film. Before the screening, director Mike Kehoe and cinematographer Ed Gutentag gave a great speech regarding the importance of this project. The plot parallels an issue that is growing rapidly in this industry: film production leaving California. 

In an effort to keep work here in the state, Ed has developed a website called Shoot Movies in California. The money a film brings to any given area during production is hugely rewarding for the surrounding local businesses and economy. He argues that by keeping production here, we can help boost our own economy in California. 

It was humbling being a part of a project that was bigger than the film itself.
