Official Synopsis:
RebootCamp is a twisty fun comedy about two brothers who create RebootCamp, a fake self-help group, and its leader “Gordon St. Pierre,” to expose the exploitive practices of fake gurus and how easy it is to con people into believing just about anything. To their surprise, their absurd RebootCamp becomes a big success with a devoted following.
With a large ensemble cast and lots of fun cameos, RebootCamp is a fast-moving comedy on one level, with deeper social commentary on another level, about why it is important for people to think for themselves instead of surrendering their free will to others who may have their own ulterior motives.
I spoke with the couple about how writer/director Ivo Raza had been planning this film out for over 7 year and that production took only 12 days to complete the film. Begley and Carson discusses their real life relationships and what new age religions had tried to recruit them earlier on in their careers once becoming Los Angeles residents. We also discussed what would happen if the Dodgers went to a Game 7 (the interview was recorded four hours before Game 6 began).
R.C. began his journalism career in 1996 as a college freshman. He has been published everywhere from Pro Wrestling Illustrated to the Oakland Tribune and Orange County Register. His vision for FanboyNation was to return a sense of traditional journalism to a world full of sensationalism and geek rage. If you hadn't noticed, R.C. really hates taking selfies, but loves comics, animation, films and MMA.
