What happens

Labou is a 2008 American independent adventure film written and directed by Greg Aronowitz, based on a story by Aronowitz and producer Sheri Bryant. It was released by MGM on May 19, 2009. The film has received three prestigious awards including Best of Fest at the Chicago International Children's Film Festival, Best Family Feature at WorldFest 2008 Houston, and Best Feature at Bam Kids Film Festival in NY; and has also been approved by the Dove Foundation, KidsFirst!, and NAPPA. Several members of the cast and crew, including cinematographer Simon Riera, worked previously with Aronowitz on Power Rangers SPD, for which Aronowitz was a writer, director and executive producer. Some production took place in New Zealand, where that series was shot. Production was interrupted by Hurricane Katrina, forcing the cast and crew to abandon production and return in early 2006. The film has a dedication at the end to the people of New Orleans. New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin appears in Labou as the Mayor of New Orleans. Local jazz legend Ellis Marsalis plays the wise "Jazz Man" in the picture. Drew Struzan designed the film's poster and the website was created by Ian J. Duncan. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
