WOO Films' "Dangerous Love" Event

As part of our Miranda Film Campaign, WOO Films will be hosting a reading of their upcoming film about Teen Dating Abuse called, "Dangerous Love," on Thursday, October 27th at Bluestockings Bookstore in the Lower East Side.

Written by "Uptown" director Brian Ackley, the film will be a challenging look at various forms of domestic violence in a high school setting.

A beloved high school teacher introduces his students to a video contest designed to bring awareness to Domestic Violence while struggling with abuse within his own developing relationship. A senior athlete, a junior musician, a sophomore artist, and a freshman writer enter the contest by developing projects based on people and events within their own conflicting lives.

The multiple storylines will be directed by a multitude of filmmakers. Florens Fanciulli, Ade Richardson, Rik Burns, and Brian Ackley will each helm a portion of the film.

The "Dangerous Love" event will consist of a dramatic reading of the script, as well as 4 short films- one from each of the filmmakers (Fanciuilli, Richardson, Burns, Ackley). Admission is free but seating will be limited so come early and browse through books or visit their Fair Trade Cafe.
