"Pretty Boy" Wins Global Film Awards' Humanitarian Award
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) February 05, 2016 -- "Pretty Boy", of Square Color Films, has won the prestigious Humanitarian Award from The Global Film Awards. The award was given for the exciting and groundbreaking message that "Pretty Boy" delivers, which the filmmakers hope will find its way to people that are struggling with the truth of who they are. The film features an exceptional and dynamic cast and crew. The film’s writer and director; Cameron Thrower, put together a stellar cast. Nick Eversman (The Duff, Wild) leads the cast as struggling teen, Sean, who is simply trying to survive through a life that is beating him down. The film’s co producer, Rebekah Tripp, also took on the role of Katie, playing a prostitute who makes a human connection with Sean and encourages him to stand up for himself. Rounding out the cast is Jon Briddell (Castle, Army Wives) who plays Sean’s father; who, through his inability to connect, encourages Sean to ‘fix’ himself; normalize to fit in.
The other side of the camera features a tremendous crew. Jesse Aragon, Director of Photography, shot the film beautifully. Gustavo Ramos, Costume Designer, styled the film and gave it a gritty, real feel. The music that takes you through this world was created specifically for the film by Lillard Anthony.
“It's not often that we are given the chance to watch a fight with the terrible beast that can live within ourselves, and those wonderful moments of self-discovery and realization of our own self worth. I think far too often we forget to look within and listen to our own hearts, and for me, that's what Pretty Boy is all about” -Nick Eversman (Sean)
“To be a part of a film that is recognized specifically for it’s message and the awareness that it brings to those who watch it, is truly an honor. I thank Global Film Awards for seeing the beauty that I saw in this project.”
-Rebekah Tripp (Producer and Katie)
"Pretty Boy has the opportunity to have a profound effect. Audiences everywhere are thirsty for fresh and live stories waiting to be told. These are the ones Hollywood should be telling. It's a welcomed message from the heart that needs to be heard, and executed so beautifully at the hands of Thrower, his team, and cast." - Movie Pilot
