> Santa Barbara, CA – July 10, 2009: Documentary filmmaker Brandon  
> Birtell in collaboration with actor Paul Walker has produced a short  
> film about the issue of homelessness in Santa Barbara titled  
> “Shelter.” This film will be premiered in an exclusive screening on  
> July 24that the Veterans Memorial Building at 112 W. Cabrillo  
> Boulevard - Santa Barbara, CA at 7 PM.
>
> Documentary filmmaker Brandon Birtell chronicles the lives of 4  
> homeless people living on the streets and in the local homeless  
> shelter Casa Esperanza. With the assistance of Ken Williams, a local  
> social worker specializing in the homeless, Brandon is able to  
> venture into various homeless encampments around Santa Barbara to  
> experience what the homeless face each day. In this hard hitting and  
> emotionally charged film Brandon shows the realities facing the  
> homelessness including drug and alcohol addiction, physical and  
> mental illness, abuse and violence, and societal stigma.
>
> Even with all the hardships faced by the people chronicled in the  
> film – there are many people involved in trying to help them get  
> their lives together and transition off the streets. As Brandon  
> aptly depicts in this film – some find their way out of the darkness  
> while others may never – opting to continue to live their lives on  
> the streets or in a Shelter.
>
> Brandon Birtell and Paul Walker are allowing the film to premier as  
> part of a fundraising effort for Casa Esperanza Homeless Center  
> before being submitted to various festivals throughout the country.  
> At this event there will also be on display a 7-foot high memorial  
> statue created and donated by renowned artist Morris Bear Squire.  
> The statue will be auctioned off in conjunction with this event.
>
> The Veterans Memorial Building was selected as the location for the  
> event to honor the many homeless veterans currently living on the  
> streets in Santa Barbara.
