Film Lovers ALERT! Flat Daddy added to LV Film Fest line-up!

FLAT DADDY will be screening at the 2012 Las Vegas Film Festival on July 22nd.  FLAT DADDY follows four military families over the course of a year to explore the impact that the war and its aftermath is having on the homefront.  One of the four families we follow in our film -- that of Gold Star Mother Marina Vance -- resides in Henderson, and we spent a large amount of time filming in the Las Vegas area and working with the local Blue Star Mothers group.  Marina and many of the local Blue Star Mothers will be in attendance at the screening

Only 1% of Americans currently serve in the U.S. Military, and their families have borne the disproportionate burden of more than a decade at war. Many have turned to "Flat Daddies" and "Heroes on a Stick," life-sized cardboard cutouts of their husbands, wives, parents and children serving overseas, to ease the pain of repeated deployments. Using these two-dimensional surrogates as a connecting thread, FLAT DADDY follows four such families over the course of a year to explore the lasting impact of the war on those left behind.
