Screenwriter/producer of Oscar nominee
Crash to speak at Sacramento State

Bobby Moresco, screenwriter and producer of Crash, the provocative film nominated for four Academy Awards including best picture and original screenplay, will speak at 7:30 p.m. on Monday, Feb. 13 in the University Union Ballroom. In his lecture, “Society through My Lens,” Moresco will talk about personal experiences that inspired the film. The talk is free and free screenings of Crash will precede the talk at noon and 5 p.m. on Feb. 13 in the Union Ballroom.

Moresco co-produced Crash, as well as the award-winning film Million Dollar Baby and the critically acclaimed television series “EZ Streets,” “Falcone” and “Millennium.”

Lions Gate Films’ Crash takes an unflinching look at the complexities of racial intolerance in contemporary America. The plot develops when a seemingly simple car accident in Los Angeles brings together a diverse group of people. As their lives collide the issue of racism and racial profiling is explored as each of these people work through their own fears and inherent prejudices.

The movie features a star-studded cast including Sandra Bullock, Don Cheadle, Matt Dillon and Chris “Ludacris” Bridges. The talk and screening are among many events Sacramento State will host for Black History Month.
