LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 19, 2003

The Los Angeles Film School hosted a screening of "How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days" followed by a Q&A with the film's director Donald Petrie ("Grumpy Old Men," "Mystic Pizza") and Producer, Christine Peters (Robert Evans Productions).

Petrie and Peters fascinated aspiring student filmmakers with stories from the five years it took to get America's box office hit made. Students were given the opportunity to screen the film and meet the filmmakers in The Los Angeles Film School's state-of-the-art 340-seat THX Dolby surround sound theater through a new interactive film screening program created by school owner/CEO Diana Derycz-Kessler. This Program called "Before the Red Carpet," allows The Los Angeles Film School students to network and interact with above the line and below the line artists, after screening their movies. The program kicked off with a screening of "Narc" and Q&A with director Joe Carnahan in early January. Next event will be scheduled for April. Students from The Los Angeles Film School's 1-Year Immersion Program, 6-Week Digital Filmmaking Program, and the newly developed Feature Development Program are invited to participate in the "Before the Red Carpet" Program.
