Photo Coverage- “Everything Must Go” Round Table Discussion

This afternoon (Wednesday April 27th) I joined a group of about 15 other press and industry personnel for a round table discussion with Will Ferrell and Dan Rush, in regards to Mr. Rush’s directorial debut, “Everything Must Go.” The film, based on a Raymond Carver short story with a screenplay written by Rush, sees Will Ferrell as an alcoholic who on the day he is fired from his job, also finds out his wife has left him and left all of this things on their front lawn and had all the locks changed. My full review of the film is coming in the next few days and a transcription of the round table interview will be coming as well (the discussion was held outside and the wind makes it hard to post the audio). In the meantime, please enjoy these pictures from the event and keep your eyes peeled for the rest. Enjoy.
