Immigrants become citizens in Proud American (Lightsource)
Fourteen years ago, local filmmaker Fred Ashman began working on the concept for what would become Proud American (opening September 12 in select theaters including Regal Rancho Del Rey, AMC La Jolla, UltraStar Mission Valley, AMC Mission Valley, AMC Fashion Valley and Edwards Mira Mesa). Ashman, who founded Multi Image Productions here in San Diego more that thirty years ago, got serious about the project in 2002 and began to seek funding. The film, which will be shown in IMAX at some theaters, opens across the nation and Ashman hopes the film will help set the tone for people as they prepare to go to the polls and elect a new president.

I saw the film in Kansas. The inspirational aspect is captured with the power of each individual story. The film's broad impact is obvious when looking at the composition of the multicultural audience ... children, Moms, Dads, Grandparents ... and yes, teens too.
Don't miss this one!

I saw "Proud American" here in Southern California yesterday... I laughed, I cried, and I was genuinely moved to a broader and more sincere appreciation of our country and culture. Highlighting the multi-ethnic aspects of our nation is a smart and current notion, and certainly gives the film broad appeal. If this film does not inspire you as an American - to reach for your dreams... I think nothing will.
Go see it - it's GREAT!
