Woodshop Feature Film Premiere Draws Star Jesse Ventura, Cast & Crew to Boulder, February 15

Thursday February 5, 11:00 am ET

BOULDER, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The red carpet premiere of 42 Productions’ independent feature comedy Woodshop, starring Jesse Ventura, Mitch Pileggi, Don S. Davis, and Denver Bronco Rod Smith will be held February 15, 2009 at 7pm MST at the Atlas Building, a world-class media facility on the University of Colorado campus in Boulder.

15-minute media Q & A session with Jesse Ventura and director Pete Coggan held immediately prior to the screening (6:30pm)—during which photos and video are permitted.

Woodshop is actor Jesse Ventura’s first feature film in a decade. His past films include Predator, The Running Man, and Demolition Man. Mr. Ventura has also been a Navy SEAL, professional wrestler and the Governor of Minnesota.

Actor Mitch Pileggi has appeared in popular television series including The X-Files, Stargate: Atlantis, Dallas, China Beach, Gray’s Anatomy, Law & Order and Boston Legal.



Don S. Davis starred in Stargate SG-1, Twin Peaks and The X-Files; and in films including A League of Their Own, Cliffhanger, Con Air and Best In Show. Sadly, Don passed away shortly after the wrap of principal photography.

Woodshop is the first feature film from Boulder-based 42 Productions, who provide complete film and video production and post-production services for Fortune 500 clients. The picture was directed, written and produced by Pete Coggan; utilized Colorado locations; and features a number of local, young actors. Use of the innovative RED ONE digital camera enabled less lighting equipment, a smaller crew and a fast production schedule.

The main character of Woodshop, Chris, is a high school senior with one goal—to make it through high school unscathed and move on to an Ivy League college. There is just one problem; when he causes a dangerous accident in his chemistry class, he’s ordered by his principal (Davis) to spend his Saturdays in woodshop detention with an ex-Army Ranger (Ventura) and a bad kid gone really bad who intends to blow them all up...with Chris’s help.
