Tune in Tuesday, March 30th at 7PM (PST) as KXLU Los Angeles proudly presents Center Stage with Mark Gordon featuring special guests Bradley Rust Gray, director of THE EXPLODING GIRL and William Winokur, writer and producer of THE PERFECT GAME.
THE EXPLODING GIRL
In her first leading role, Zoe Kazan plays
Ivy, a twenty-year-old
college student home for Spring Break. Shes excited about a developing
romance back at school and life is seemingly perfect. When her longtime
friend Al finds himself without a place to stay during the break, Ivy
and her mother take him in and Al and Ivys friendship strengthens while
her boyfriend grows more and more distant. Increasingly distressed about
her conflicting feelings, Ivy struggles to keep control, not wanting
overwhelming her emotions and trigger her epilepsy. Restrained and
meditative, THE EXPLODING GIRL is the exquisite portrait of a young girl
coming of age and finding a deeper kind of love in New York City.
THE PERFECT GAME
Based on the extraordinary
true story of the 1957 Monterrey Industrials Little League Team, THE
PERFECT GAME is the inspiring tale of how a sandlot baseball team finds
itself on a once-in-a lifetime journey. Originally armed with the dream
of playing one Little League game on U.S. soil, the young team members
defy a total lack of resources, disapproving parents, and widespread
prejudice as they travel across the border to Southern Texas, and
beyond. Relying only on their faith and love of the game, the team
finally finds it's way to Williamsport, PA, where a miracle will cement
their place in history and change their lives forever.
