Claire King will be the faculty facilitator for the post screening discussion of this "nostalgic trip back to the 1980s, and inventive valentine to an era where, for the first time in history, young minds had access to technology that allowed them to create their own stories while paying homage to their larger-than-life heroes from the movies that inspired them. Will, who isn't allowed to watch TV or go to the movies, expresses himself through his drawings and illustrations until he finds himself caught up in the extraordinary world of Lee Carter, the school terror and crafter of bizarre home movies. Carter exposes Will to a pirated copy of the first Rambo film, FIRST BLOOD, which blows his mind wide open. Dir. Garth Jennings, UK, 2008, 96 min, PG-13."
