Worth Watching: First Trailer for Young Magicians Doc 'Make Believe'

"Makes you want to follow you dreams." How often do you hear that kind of praise for a film? Apple recently debuted a trailer for a documentary called Make Believe that follows a few young (teenage) magicians as they attend the World Magic Seminar in Las Vegas and battle for the title of Teen World Champion… magician. I've been a lifelong lover of all things magic and the magical and this film looks like it has a bit of both. It seems to have received quite a bit of praise and will actually be hitting theaters right away. I always love finding great indies like this and I'm happy to feature it here, hopefully it'll be coming your way soon.

Make Believe is directed by first-time filmmaker J. Clay Tweel, of only some production work on a short called Excuse Me previously. Providing writing for the doc was Cleven S. Loham. This premiered at the Los Angeles Film Festival and also played at other festivals, winning the Audience Award at the Austin Film Fest. Firefly Theater & Films is already bringing Make Believe to limited theaters on May 1st this summer.
