On August 12th 2010 independent filmmaker, Dallas King of Onyx Entertainment in association with ARC Talent Management will premiere his film “Little Soldier”. The premiere will take place at the Writer’s Guild Theater in Beverly Hills. The premiere will feature the first showing of the trailer for his upcoming film TATTOO. The premiere will also help raise funds for at-risk youth in association with Big Kids Care and SBC PRIME (www.bigkidscare.org).

The film “Little Soldier” focuses on Daniel, played by Gabreon Womack, who struggles to get past his problem of wetting the bed, while his father Tony played by Darren Schnase, grows frustrated. Only Daniel's belief in his toys coming alive to fight the monster in the closet responsible for the bed wetting will restore the love between a father and a son. It's Toy Story meets Black Hawk Down in an imaginary world. When director Dallas King as asked what inspired him to write the film, he replied “The true inspiration comes from being a kid that was always afraid of the dark”.

Both Dallas King and Gabreon Womack are industry advocates for the Big Kids Care program. A portion of the food proceeds from the after-party at LIFE on Wilshire be directly be donated to the SBC PRIME program. Donations for SBC PRIME will be accepted at the event and the public service announcement for Big Kids Care featuring Patrick Gallagher of Glee will air at the beginning of the evening.
