"MO"

WINNER AUDIENCE CHOICE AWARD
MALIBU INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL 2007

Los Angeles, CA (April 18, 2007) -- Brian Scott Lederman's "Mo" won the Audience Choice Award at this year's Malibu International Film Festival. "I am honored the film was received so well by the audience. It was great to see the reaction in the theater and my brother would have been very proud of this moment. Having my parents and family there was very special and I thank David Katz and the Malibu International Film Festival for their support."

Erik Per Sullivan of "Malcolm in the Middle" stars in a more mature role as the title character in "Mo," an inspirational, stylized independent movie from first-time director Brian Scott Lederman. Margo Martindale of "The Riches" also stars in this amusing, yet poignant true story about a boy living with Marfan syndrome, a serious connective tissue disorder.

Brian Scott Lederman's directorial debut set on Long Island, NY, tells a charming personal journey of adolescence, self-discovery, hardship and existence. "Mo" tries, successfully, to be normal and to live a carefree kid's life, as he is indeed surrounded by much love from his family members and friends.

Marfan syndrome is a genetic condition that affects the connective tissue. The primary purpose of connective tissue is to hold the body together and provide a framework for growth and development. People with Marfan syndrome have a number of outward physical features, but it is the affect on the aorta, the blood vessel that leads away from the heart that can become life-threatening. It is estimated that at least 1 in 5,000 people in the United States have the disorder; about half of them are not diagnosed.

"Mo's" soundtrack follows in the great indie tradition of such films as "Garden State," where the music and the movie come alive on screen. Featuring sounds by The Dave Matthews Band, Lost Role Models, Anythingbox and Acid House Kings, this eclectic mix of music talent is sure to become a cult favorite with moviegoers.

"'Mo' is a compelling drama that struck a chord with the audience at the Malibu International Film Festival leaving many in tears as they walked out of the theater, "Malibu Film Festival Producer David Katz said. "With the ballot scores being 1-5, 5 being highest, most attendees indicated "Mo" was a 6!"

The husband and wife team of Brian Scott Lederman and Monica Lederman produced "Mo" together and call the film a "genuine labor of love."
