The FP in Select Theaters, including Alamo Drafthouse in Austin

Following its world premiere at the 2011 SXSW Film Festival as part of Fantastic Fest's midnight selection, the film was celebrated as "loud, furious and recklessly funny" (Indiewire) and called a "rare, ready-made cult hit." (Moviefone).

Drafthouse Films released 'THE FP' on March 16th in select cities and had a red carpet premiere in Los Angeles on February 25th.

This movie may not appeal to an older demographic or anyone who is not into games. Some may consider it  a bit juvenile and totally skip the film while it is in theaters. It will take an open-minded individual who loves all types of movies, especially the goof- ball ones. For many people I have heard from in the recent past, the 1980s is not a time period that they are fond of, so this also may be a factor in not going to spend movie dollars for this film. Brother Brandon has had commerical success with the feature films he has worked on, so this appears to be an opportunity for him to explore other styles that may not have come through the path he has been on. More power to the filmmaking team who took a chance on exploring something that seems like it was a blast to do together.  
'THE FP' is a high-concept comedy set in a dystopian near future where a relentless turf war rages. Two rival gangs feud for control of rural wasteland Frazier Park in the deadly arena of competitive dance video game "Beat-Beat Revelation." This is the first film by the Trost brothers, Jason and Brandon.                                                 

In 'THE FP' BTRO (Brandon Barrera) is slain on the dance platform by trash-talking thug leader L Dubba E, his protégé little brother JTRO (Jason Trost) vows never to duel again and vanishes into self-imposed isolation. A year later, he's located by distressed former gang-mate KC/DC (CRANK 2's Art Hsu) and learns of the desperate state of The FP. Not only is the neighborhood in pieces; the villainous L Dubba E has his claws on Stacey (Caitlyn Folley), JTRO's ultimate crush. There's no other choice; our hero must return to restore order and regain the pride of his hometown. KC/ DC enlists guru BLT (Nick Principe) to school JTRO in the sacred art of ancient "Beat-Beat" technique via rigorous training sequences. Eventually, JTRO defeats enough low-ranking challengers to earn his cage match with Dubba E, and hopefully win back The FP along with the heart of Stacey. 'THE FP' is a fury of fancy footwork, triumphant montages, and neon street wear. 

Brandon and Jason Trost are fourth generation filmmakers and have worked in the film industry for their entire lives. Raised on sets, they began young, as assistants for their father in the craft of special effects. With years of working and learning the intricacies of filmmaking, they developed an appreciation for the art while reaching further than just special effects. Together as aspiring filmmakers they made short films all through out childhood. Jason began writing and acting, finishing a dozen feature length screenplays, as well as shooting numerous short films and independent features. Brandon focused on cinematography and enrolled in the Los Angeles Film School. He quickly moved into a promising career, with more than twenty feature films under his belt including: CRANK: HIGH VOLTAGE starring Jason Statham; HALLOWEEN II; SNL feature film MACGRUBER; and Rob Zombie's upcoming LORDS OF SALEM.  Together as aspiring filmmakers they continue to make films together, known for their creative style and outlandish sense of humor.
