Prodigy; Screening with Backup Plan

Scheduled to attend: Brian Vidal (co-writer, co-director), Alex Haughey (co-writer, co-director), Howard Vidal (executive producer)

Synopsis: A psychologist engages a dangerous, young genius in a battle of wits -- unaware of the supernatural power the girl possesses, or that her life hangs in the balance.

Co-Directors Alex Haughey and Brian Vidal's story is a classic "director meets director" tale. They met at USC 10 years ago where they discovered a mutual passion for filmmaking, mirth-making & sandwich-making. After a decade of friendship and collaboration, they decided to take their relationship to the next level... embarking on their first feature film together. Prodigy is that film.

Screening with:
