Sean Astin stars in “Deep Blue Breath” as the father of Clay Beabout.
The story written by then 11 year old Clay Beabout is about his life threatening disease V.A.T.E.R. Syndrome.
“Deep Blue Breath” stars Sean Astin (The Lord of the Rings), Miguel Sandoval (Medium), Natasha Gregson Wagner (High Fidelity), Ernie Hudson (Oz, Ghostbusters), directed by Patricia Cardoso and introducing Clay Beabout. The event will be held at the Writers Guild Theater on Saturday, April 30th at 7:30 PM. Red carpet begins at 6 PM.
“Make A Film Foundation teams children who have serious or life-threatening illnesses with film industry professionals to help them create short film legacies. These children write and star in their own films with the help of famous directors, writers and actors.”
Elijah Wood star of “The Hobbit” was one of the team members who mentored Clay through the film making process.
While a medical team is battling to save his life in surgery, Clay fictionally travels into the animated world of his body to fight against characters that represent his disease.

In an interview on “The Docters” daytime show he mentioned his video is availiable for$20. Didnt say here…great interview…catch the 3/28 show
That is a good question. I hope they do.
i was wondering if the film will be available for people to see on dvd etc .
It was a great event showcasing a brave (and funny) young man as well as the talents of so many who brought his dream to life. The film will be shown this weekend at the Santa Catalina Film Festival (http://catalinaff.org/special-events/make-a-film-foundation/). Best of luck to Clay, Tamika, Debi, etc.
