Denver— The full length feature film, The Goal, premiered
September 22 in front of a sold out audience at Starz Film
Center. The Goal will continue to screen at Starz through
September 28. Show times for the film are 2:35, 5:00, 7:15 p.m.
with a question and answer session with the director and actors
following the 7:15 showing.
Audience member’s ages ranged from 5-85 and included a group of
8-12 year-old athletes from the Colorado Fusion Soccer program.
The young athletes watched the film closely and participated in
the question and answer session after the film. Local
screenwriter, Karen Hemmerle, and The Goal director, writer, and
producer, Darla Rae, both thought that their questions were very
thought out. Rae said, “They had such amazing questions. You
could really tell they liked the movie.”
The question and answer session continued for one hour after the
screening of the film. Following the question and answer
session, Darla Rae, Ryan Parker and Gale Grove signed DVDs for
the audience. “We only had so many that had been purchased in
advance, so we had to go get several additional copies for
audience members who wanted to purchase copies. They all waited
patiently as we signed them,” said Rae.
Michael Johnson, a film student from CU Boulder, thanked Rae and
her cast for making the film, and showing that individuals with
disabilities can still have relationships and can contribute
much to society if only given the chance. His wife has had
Muscular Dystrophy since her youth.
Rae’s company, Film It Productions, also provided tickets to a
family currently living the story of The Goal. Film It
Productions also provided the family with a DVD of The Goal so
they could show other family and friends. “I think they truly
enjoyed The Goal. This is what The Goal is all about. It's about
making a difference in people’s lives, no matter what the
situation,” said Rae.
Proceeds benefit the disabled community and various non profit
organizations. Tickets can be purchased online at
www.denverfilm.org or at www.thegoal-movie.com which benefit
various groups and include a signed DVD of The Goal.
