CAYMAN ISLANDS Film Festival
Special Screening: North Carolina
Thursday, June 16th
Filmmaker K. Rocco Shields hosts an exclusive screening of the award-winning, anti-bullying film Love is All You Need? in North Carolina on Thursday, June 16. The movie is followed by a Q&A with Shields, lead actress Briana Evigan (Step Up 2) and other cast as well as Blake Cooper Griffin (Ride), Mike C. Manning (The Real World) and YouTube sensations / LGBT activists Bria and Chrissy.
While many artists responded to HB2 by boycotting North Carolina, Shields was instead motivated to bring her film specifically there. "There are many kinds of people in North Carolina, and this movie is for all of them," said Shields. "My intention is to inspire an open conversation on tolerance and diversity at one of the places that needs to discuss these topics the most right now."
