The Paper Brigade
The line is drawn, the sides are packed, the soldiers are in place. The war has begun!
Directed by Blair Treu
Produced by Leucadia Film Corporation, CINAR
A lighthearted coming-of-age comedy about a new kid finding friendship and self-respect through a paper route, with gentle romantic and social conflicts resolved through teamwork and personal growth.
A 14 year old boy named Gunther moves to a small town with his parents and little brother. He meets up with a group of overly charitable paper boys who want him to sub for their friend while he's out of town. Gunther agrees so he can get enough money for concert tickets to take his blonde and beautiful crush too, all the while dealing with Chad, her wannabe boyfriend and his bully friends. All in all, Gunther learns to respect himself and other people and to have fun during it all.
