“Follow Me Home” will be screened at the Indianapolis Museum of Art on Friday, September 24, 2010, at 7 pm, with an introduction and Q&A with Peter Bratt and Jesse Borrego.

The movie – directed by Peter Bratt and starring Benjamin Bratt and Jesse Borrego – was never released to the general public and shown only in limited, pre-coordinated venues, so this is a great opportunity to see it for those interested and being in the Indianapolis area at the time it will be screened, in my opinion.
