‘Dare’ Premieres In LA

I dare you to watch
Friday, November 6th, 2009

Earlier I mentioned that David and I attended the LA premiere of the new film Dare, which stars Emmy Rossum, Zach Gilford and Ashley Springer, last night and now we get to see some photos from the red carpet arrivals from last night’s event. Here are a few pics from the Dare LA premiere which was held at the Pacific Design Center in West Hollywood, CA sponsored by Gen Art and Bing:


As with any indie film, promotion is hard to come by … and I liked this movie so much that I want to do what I can to spread the word. As I mentioned in my brief review earlier, Dare tells a teenage love story that isn’t usually told in mainstream film. I was so impressed with Zach Gilford (who you may know from Friday Night Lights) in this film that I really want as many people as possible to see his amazing performance. See this movie if you can … I really think you will love it as much as I do :)

Do You ‘Dare’?

The TV Guide
Friday, November 6th, 2009

Last night David and I were invited by our good friend David Brind to the LA premiere of the new movie Dare which he wrote! The film has been screening at film festivals all year long (starting out with Sundance back in January) and finally premiered here in Hollywood:


The movie is a very poignant and frank look at the complexities of teenage sexuality which focuses on a group of high school kids who yearn for and find love from one another. Emmy Rossum (who plays Alexa Walker), Zach Gilford (who plays Johnny Drake) and Ashley Springer (who plays Ben Burger) bring this unconventional love story to life with an awkward honesty that is extremely refreshing to see on the big screen. Alexa has feelings for Johnny character … as does her best friend Ben. Johnny has feelings for both Alexa and Ben … and therein lies the complexity. The character development is really fantastic … I urge y’all to see this film. Be on the look out for Ana Gasteyer and Alan Cumming who are fantastic in their roles … and for Rooney Mara who is a total scene stealer. Dare opens in NY and LA next weekend and, depending on the demand, should open in wide release afterward.

After the premiere, we made our way to the Stone Rose for the after party. We got to hang out with some of the Dare stars and take some fun photobooth pics. Check ‘em out after the jump …
