By trying to save at least one troubled youth from ending up in prison, even at the risk of his own family, a “failed” musician discovers the true gift of his music… and the deeper meaning of freedom.
For the feature film GUITAR MAN, Laurie was hired by Prodigy Entertainment to adapt and dramatize the book and life of musician and youth advocate Buzzy Martin for the screen.
GUITAR MAN won the Audience Award for “Best Drama” at its debut screenings in San Francisco Indie Fest, “Best Drama” at IFS Film Festival, “First Place” at San Francisco Black Film Festival, and 17 additional festival awards, including “Best Writer” at Cinema at the Edge and “Best Original Screenplay” at Golden State Film Festival.
