You Decide Ticket Price ... After the Movie!: Feature Film, REVOLOUTION, Redefines Hollywood and Gives All Profits to Charity

Movie Tickets Tax Deductible for the First Time in History!

LOS ANGELES, April 14 /PRNewswire/ -- REVOLOUTION is creating a first in cinema history -- the filmmakers of REVOLOUTION are asking for donations only at the box office and then giving all profits to non-profit (501 c3) charity organizations, including The Boys & Girls Club, Child Help, and The Foundation for Conscious Humanity. The Foundation for Conscious Humanity is forming partnerships with local and national non-profits to make this film available and incorporate it in special outreach and after school programs for Youth at Risk, urban communities, and other under-served audiences (*1).

According to Aime and Steve McCrory, Carr's Publicists, the audience receives a ticket voucher that allows them to "donate what the film is worth" after the screening. Throughout April, in observance of Child Abuse Awareness month, the street team is distributing 80,000 free movie vouchers throughout greater Los Angeles and New York City. (*1A)

REVO LOU TION is loosely based on the true story of the director/ lead actor, Bret Carr (*2), and is about a violent, homophobic, street-fighting stutterer who transforms into a compassionate person and advocate for youth at risk. By following the near death psychological awakening of the film's protagonist, LOU, the audience identifies with their own life-defining moment, or whatever story runs their lives and prevents them from achieving their dreams.

Carr says, "I grew up extremely rich, but so devastated by abandonment and depression -- issues resulting from being raised in an alcoholic home -- that having found a way to methodically overcome it, I had to give back. And the question I kept asking myself was: How radically would it change my life if I could stop reliving my childhood dramas in my current relationships, trying to get the love that wasn't there? That is the power of REVOLOUTION. It lets you see that a limited, emotionally handicapped life is a story -- that can be changed. Imagine knowing that before all of our patterns started? Now, through REVOLOUTION, I have the power to share that breakthrough, that knowledge. How can we put a price on that? Admission is free. The audience decides what it is worth!"

Carr, who was the heir to his family fortune (his grandfather was RC Cola corporate raider Victor Posner), walked away from a $250 million inheritance in order to make a film which would unite people to be the REVOLOUTION they want to see in the world and give them the ability to see their calling.

Carr was inspired to start the FOUNDATION FOR CONSCIOUS HUMANITY after Dennis Johnson (*1), the warden of Cincinnati's Teen Felony facility, was so moved by REVOLOUTION that in order to share it with his inmates, he got it approved by State Judge Ripps and the superintendent of schools. FCH screens conscious cinema for non-profit organizations and provides access to filmmakers and facilitators who enable explorations of the movies after the screenings.

REVOLOUTION's Bret Carr recruited his favorite cinema icons with a concept so powerful, they agreed to donate their services. The script was co-written with Quinn K. Redeker, the creator and co-writer of five-time Oscar Winner, THE DEER HUNTER. It has a musical theme from Academy Award Winner, Bill Conti, and the Emmy nominated Ashley Irwin. Appearing are Kumar Pallana ("Gupta" from Steven Spielberg's THE TERMINAL) and Burt Young (Oscar Nominee for ROCKY). The staff of 20 volunteers, including the two former heads of production at Speilberg's SHOAH Foundation, are working on the film because of its "profoundly impactful" (*3) effect on audiences.

REVOLOUTION's co-writer/ director/ star, Bret Carr, funded the film by painting people's dreams on grains of rice on Santa Monica's Third Street Promenade. Eventually, during the last of it's 10 year production and its award winning film festival run, the film was supported and endorsed by icons and thought leaders like Jane Fonda, Will Arntz (director of WHAT THE BLEEP), Oprah Winfrey lifestyle guru Colin Cowie, NY Times best seller Gay Hendricks, and Kitty Stewart (Oprah appearing relationship expert), who wrote Carr with letters of support and encouragement.

REVOLOUTION is being released by THE FOUNDATION FOR CONSCIOUS HUMANITY beginning April 28th in Los Angeles (Leammle Sunset 5 -- 8000 Sunset Blvd. West Los Angeles, CA 90046), May 12th in New York (Village East Cinema -- 181 2nd Ave. NYC, NY 10003) and then in the top 20 markets this summer. Bicoastal for nonprofit fundraiser premieres hosted by major celebrities will happen the first Sunday the film hits the theaters.
