Inspired by Guy Trebay's New York Times article, "It's Hip to be Round," about a sexy East Coast trend: beer guts for men.
Was twice featured on George Pennacchio's "Hollywood Wrap" on KABC Los Angeles. The first feature aired in April 2010 and told the story of how Brijana Prooker was able to produce Gut-to-Go (2010) because of film donations from her neighbors; the follow-up story aired in October 2010 and covered the neighborhood premiere, which Bri Prooker invited all her neighbors to in order to thank them for helping her make her film.
Official Selection at the 2010 Action on Film International Film Festival.
Geno Lenardo, member of the band South of Earth and former member of the multi-platinum-selling band Filter (best known for the song, "Take a Picture") produced an original score for Gut-to-Go (2010).
Shot primarily on the state-of-the-art Canon EOS 7D in 24p. The opening montage was shot on the Canon EOS 5D Mark II with the firmware update to allow it to shoot 24p. The infomercial and newscast scenes were shot on the Panasonic AG-HVX200.
