📅 Mark your calendars. I don’t think I’ve ever dropped a movie trailer on LinkedIn before. 😆 🇺🇸 This is my best America 250 post. :) Here’s the deal. One of my clients is Craftsman Films led by my friend, the amazing Daren Smith. Craftsman is the producer of a new movie called BROTHERHOOD, which is scheduled to hit theaters Oct 2. (That’s the mark your calendars part.) The film is a musical, written, directed, and composed by Ross Boothe. There’s a lot of talent wrapped up in one guy to make this thing happen. Fun fact, Ross is the brother of Mark Boothe, who serves as CMO at Domo and an advisory council member for UMX. I don’t know which brother gave the other more nuggies as a kid... but two great guys for sure. PSA: There are some political overtones. If it’s not your jam, no sweat. I don’t do political posts as a rule. If there’s a principle that occasionally makes me break that rule it’s this. The world is a better place when we talk with people who think differently than we do. I’m on team “if we work at it, we can probably get along.” And in my life I have learned to be grateful for opinions that I do not share. And this movie is about people from different backgrounds coming together and getting to know each other. They aren’t the same in their thinking or their background. But you know, It’s hard not to care about someone you actually know. Plus, there’s ✅ intense dramatic conflict ✅ romance ✅ and a lot of singing. ...A LOT of singing. If it’s not your thing, cool. But there are TONS of craft and skill in this thing. I’m proud it came out of Utah. We punch above our weight in Utah, but we’re only a small ecosystem. This one stars Utah’s own Casey Elliott as well as Emmy-award winning Mauricio Martinez. I’ve met both of these guys and man are they talented. My friend Yahosh Bonner who's been making waves Comma Copywriters does some backup vocals too. Not to mention Liliana Bolaños Lori Heiselman Garrett Batty Emily McLean Callie Daruk Zach Atherton In addition to the theatrical release, there will be local events around the U.S. And there are a truckload of BTS clips, interviews, etc. with the cast, crew, producers, and more. I like that stuff. If you’ve been watching all the positive comments from FIFA World Cup 2026™ - Canada, Mexico and the United States visitors getting to know each other and finding out we’re a lot the same… you’ll dig this movie. https://lnkd.in/ekayRhAu
