Locally filmed 'Answer This!' will screen at Cleveland International Film Festival
Formerly titled "Trivial Pursuits," "Answer This!" focuses on a U-M graduate student named Paul (Chris Gorham) who's confronting his own dreaded graduation, as well as the difficulty of living in the shadow of his academic superstar father (played by longtime U-M professor Ralph Williams). Adrift, Paul becomes involved in the local competitive pub trivia scene.
The Farah brothers presented a sold-out sneak peek screening of the film at the Michigan Theater in October (which resulted in an added, late screening); and while "Answer This!" was not accepted by the Sundance Film Festival, the filmmakers now (according to Chris Farah's Facebook page) have their sites set on the South by Southwest Festival and the Tribeca Film Festival.
