Writer/director Jared Cliff LaReau + composer Mathew Mozzoni stop by to discuss their longstanding friendship and creative collaboration on the feature WEST OF GREATNESS: THE STORY OF THE WESTWEGO MUSCLE BOYS, which premiered in June at the Bentonville Film Festival. The synopsis reads: "In a fading Louisiana town, Jerome dreams of Hollywood while Terry seeks escape from a troubled home. United by desperation, they train for a high-stakes bodybuilding competition that becomes their shot at something more. Filmed over 18 months, West of Greatness blazes a bold new trail in cinematic storytelling, blending raw documentary with scripted drama. It's a haunting, human story of ambition, survival, and the quiet bond that forms when there's nothing left to lose"
