It sure is exciting when local people make a splash in the world of arts and entertainment.  Such is the case with first time writer/director Louie Laccarino.  He's made a movie called "Green River Road," which tells a story of revenge and redemption of two brothers, Cashius and Winston Hurley, who’ve been scorned and outcast from their home town due to the wrongfully accused sins of their father. Fifteen years later, truths arise, as well as the forgotten Hurley Boy’s. Now, it’s a matter of deciding whether revenge is worth losing what little family they have left.  That description comes from the Louisville Film Festival website, as the movie will be shown as part of the festival on Friday.
