(Cincinnati, OH) PB&K Media has obtained worldwide distribution rights to Doughboy - A Flyover Films/Route 40 Films production which has been overwhelmingly embraced by limited run audiences.

Billed as "a story for today's generation about the price of freedom," Doughboy tells of an apathetic, teenaged boy's journey from New York City to a small WV town where, after vandalizing a WWI statue, he's sentenced to perform community service at a local veterans’ home.

There, he meets veterans who try to teach the boy about patriotism and sacrifice. The young boy's faded memories of 9/11 are rekindled as he rediscovers what it was like when "we were all together ...united in our grief and our love for this country."

Paul Broadhead-PB&K's founder-says "Doughboy stirs emotions in audiences of all ages and political persuasions like no other film I've ever seen. It is a special satisfaction to release a movie that brings such joy and inspiration to people."

An early 2012 wide release is planned.

Terry Kiser (Weekend At Bernies) co-stars in this entertaining, powerful, family friendly movie that introduces talented newcomers Barrett Carnahan, Emily Capehart and Michael Guy Allen.

Director JW Myers, Producer Kristin Seibert and writer Ty DeMartino hope the film will encourage conversations between generations, an understanding of the sacrifice of many and the importance of saying thank you. Ryan Schlagbaum was Director of Photography/Editor.

Myers and Seibert began their careers in L.A. but are now based in the Midwest. Seibert is a producer and C.E.M. of Flyover Films and Myers and DeMartino are partnered in Route 40 Films.
