Wasted on the Young gets March release date

Ben C. Lucas’ teenage thriller Wasted on the Young, which is set to screen this week at the Pusan International Film Festival in Korea, will be released in Australia on March 3, 2011.

An official Facebook page for the film has been launched by Paramount Pictures.

Wasted on the Young was produced by Janelle Landers and Aidan O’Bryan, and tells the story of a violent incident at a high school party and its effects on a group of friends – particularly two step-brothers.

It was funded by ScreenWest and Screen Australia. After its Sydney Film Festival and Toronto premieres, it has been acquired by Indomina Releasing and Momentum Pictures for a US/UK release respectively.
