The FP Green Band Trailer - In Theaters March 16 from Drafthouse Films on Vimeo.

The FP trailer, with scenes from Frazier Park and familiar faces, including Lee Valmassey of Pine Mountain and Jason Trost (Frazier Mountain High School class of 2004), formerly of Lebec, with costumes by Sarah Trost (FMHS, 2000). The film is now in national release, and will be at Universal Citywalk on March 28.

Myth, legend and the urgency of saving the Frazier Mountain Park ducks…They all flow together into a feature film so silly it becomes a giddy lark when the Lebec-raised Trost Trio (Brandon, Jason and Sarah) join with Pine Mountain’s Lee Valmassy, New Yorker Art Hsu and a wacky vision of Frazier Park’s seamiest side for a send-up of 1980s Hollywood warrior-hero flicks—filmed right here in your own backyard with an $80,000 budget, a sophisticated eye and a seriously absurd attitude.

The story pits “the 245s” against “the 248s” in a national 30-city theatrical film release that next appears in Los Angeles at Universal AMC Citywalk, Stadium 19 on Wednesday, March 28, 9:00-11 p.m.

The event includes an FP costume contest judged by costume designer Sarah Trost and a “no holds barred” Q&A, says writer/co-director/ star Jason Trost. [Go to www.tugg.com/events/348#.T2ma_I5VaD7 to buy your tickets. The screening will fly if 50 people buy tickets.]—PH

From last week’s report:….Dialogue is loaded with spicy language in a syncopated rhythm of profane but hilarious satire. “…A ferocious nod to big-budget studio action fare and underdog sports dramas of the 1980s, The FP is a high-concept comedy set in a dystopian near future where a relentless turf war rages,” distributor Drafthouse Films writes, calling it “a manic, hilarious, totally original achievement.”

The film opened theatrically in 30 cities around the country on March 16.
