Stuart Acher

Stuart's pursuit of feature film directing began in the sixth grade when he was awarded the first place prize for a video project, produced for an English class.

Ebert subsequently invited Stuart onto his TV show and screened his film of the world stage, launching Stuart's career.

The film stars Joel David Moore (Avatar) and Madeline Zima (Californication), garnered several awards such as Best Performances at the Napa Valley Film Festival, and Best Director, as well as the Audience Award at Sun Valley Film Festival and went on to a successful theatrical and VOD distribution run.
