LDS Film Festival draws 3,000

"A fun coming-of-age story about two delinquent boys who escape a wilderness correctional camp. Their fortunes change when two LDS missionaries make an emergency run at the rest stop in the middle of the Mojave desert on their way to their new assignment — the town of New Harmony (same name as the production company). The runaways steal the elders' car and assume their identity with some hilarious and touching twists.

This film was shot in 18 days in the Mojave Desert, Red Rock State Park and Simi Valley in Southern California. The target market is the young teenage audience whose members may not have any idea what it means to be a member of the LDS Church or a full-time missionary, according to director, writer and producer Rodney Henson. While Henson says its for young audiences, LDS members of all ages will find something to like about it.

Don't be deceived by the advertising. Those guys on the billboard aren't Mormon missionaries.

This film will be released to Utah audiences on Feb. 3. Visit: www.suitsontheloose.com. for more information. — Genelle Pugmire
