Shaping Youth’s K-5 playground documentary in development, should get a big boost of media ‘umpf’ and fiscal validation with the release of the new doc, America the Beautiful opening today in L.A. and next Friday in S.F., S.D., and Las Vegas!

I’ll be interviewing America the Beautiful director Darryl Roberts after their S.F. Film Society pre-screening next week, but wanted to tell all our L.A. readers pronto to pack a wallop of support into this weekend’s box office sales! —Especially since MTV recently put out a casting call for a new ‘transformational’ reality show called AND, coming out Sept. 16, the premiere of The Biggest Loser FAMILY edition.
