"The Wheeler Boys" Ito/Matsuura Film Series

Please join us at the Warner Grand in San Pedro this Thursday, November 4th at 7 pm for the last of the Ito/Matsuura films this year - "The Wheeler Boys," a film by Philip Flores.

With their father lost in a fog of anger and self-loathing, "Truck" Wheeler has raised his younger brother Ted as best he could, given he's just a teenager himself.  Now, Ted is entering high school just as Truck readies himself for his final year, and the younger boy is seeing everything - girls, life in a small town, the brother he's always idolized, in a different light.

"The Wheeler Boys" is the winner of the 2010 Netflix competition "Find Your Voice," contest, selected out of 500 entries.

Mr. Flores will attend the screening along with his cast for a Q & A.
