Jared Cliff LaReau, writer and director of "West of Greatness: the story of the westwego muscle boys," and composer Mathew Mozzoni have been friends since middle school in Rogers.
The film, which premieres on Friday, June 20, at the Bentonville Film Festival at The Momentary, is set in southern Louisiana but is heavily influenced by their upbringing in Rogers. LaReau joined the conversation via Zoom from New Orleans while Mozzoni was in the studio to discuss the film.
