David Branin

Writer/Director David Branin grew up near Hartford, Connecticut.  Raised by a single deaf mother, he picked up her skill of observing and reading people.  It wasn't until his college career was almost over that the dream of making a major motion-picture burst into his head. David and three of his closest friends wrote an original screenplay together and moved to Los Angeles in 2000 to pursue their own Hollywood ending. His pursuit of that dream continues to this day.

He is the Director/Writer/Producer of Night Before the Wedding and Co-Host of Film Courage.

His work has been seen by millions online.  His short films, Shoot-Out and Honey, I'm Home have garnered the most acclaim, having combined to screen in over 40 international film festivals while winning their share of awards.

  KAREN WORDEN  
Karen Worden

Actress/Spokesperson Karen Worden co-hosts L.A. Talk Radio's "Film Courage".  At age 18, Karen drove herself and her belongings to Los Angeles from the San Francisco Bay Area to pursue her acting career.  As many an L.A. transplant will do, Karen worked several odd jobs to pay the rent.  Karen's had many interesting work experiences which have further flavored her character. 

Karen's style is earthy with a slight touch of fire (thanks to a combination of a sun in Pisces with a Sagittarius rising for all you astrology buffs), easygoing, intuitive and direct. In hosting the new Internet radio talk show, "Film Courage," Karen seeks to probe industry professionals on their quest for greater things.  Karen's in-depth questioning discovers how individuals overcome the naysayers, along with quieting the harshest of critics - oneself!  She questions industry professionals on their fear of success versus fear of failure, overcoming self-sabotage, and developing one's greatest strengths.

Karen's credits include Honey I'm Home, Road Therapy, Weekend Get Away, Religious Freaks Gone Wild, Mind Over Matter Man, Smoking - The Movie and the latest Night Before the Wedding.  Karen also wrote and starred in a one-woman play showcased at the Space Theatre entitled The Other Woman, as well as being featured in several commercials and print ads.  One of her favorite shoots was working with Richard Simmons on his Sweatin' to the Oldies series.

The 20th Film Courage Interactive with David Branin and Karen Worden features THE WAY HE MAKES THEM FEEL: A MICHAEL JACKSON FAN DOCUMENTARY, a documentary chronicling the lives of Michael Jackson fans, and how one man impacted the world in so many unexpected ways.   THE WAY HE MAKES THEM FEEL: A MICHAEL JACKSON FAN DOCUMENTARY is directed and produced by Joelle Arqueros, Todd Lampe, and ErinRose Widner.  It stars Alex Bartosch, Teresa Tayag, Bechir Sylvain, and more.  The screening date will take place on Michael Jackson’s birthdate (August 29th) and live entertainment will be part of the event, featuring Michael Jackson inspired performances (including songs and dance).

SYNOPSIS:

From all over the world, meet fans of all ages, religions, backgrounds, and races who found solace and inspiration from one man – Michael Jackson. Discover the unexpected ways he influenced people's lives beyond his power as a pop star. From inspiring fans to recycle, to helping another get through her drug-free labor by listening to his music, learn more about his real fans, who are not just the characters they have been portrayed as by the media – but genuine individuals. This insightful documentary reveals how people discovered him and are impacted by him, not only in his life – but also after his death. Their stories and sentiments will reveal not only an artist, humanitarian, and musical innovator, but simply a man, seen through the eyes of those that loved him the most – his fans. In The Way He Makes Them Feel: A Michael Jackson Fan Documentary, witness how one man inspires countless others, in so many diverse ways, and the way he makes them feel about themselves and the world.
