A Florida Southern College Connection to Endure

When Lakeland rolls out the red carpet this weekend for the screening of the new movie "Endure," Florida Southern College will be well-represented.

In Jesse Larson '09 Gets a Close-up Look at the Art of Making Movies With "Endure", Florida Southern interviews one of their own who helped make Endure a reality. FSC grad Jesse Larson served as an associate producer on the film.

Larson was among 70 people who worked on the set every day during the shooting of the $1.5 million independent film. In addition, several FSC alumni including--Trippi McGlinn '00, Toby McGlinn '99, John Hickman '99, and Angela Rogell '02--worked as extras on the film, some of which was filmed just blocks from the College.

Endure played before a sell out crowd at its first screening during the Sarasota Film Festival yesterday. Audience reaction was tremendous. Great comments on all aspects of the film.
