Well first, I guess you should know what a Trophy Kid is-
trophy kid (trf kd)Part of Speech: nDefinition: Also called "Millennials," they often received trophies and other praise just for participating and not necessarily for excelling. They were rewarded to avoid damaging their self-esteem. As a result, trophy kids feel confident and accomplished, but the coddling has led them to feel entitled and to have great and often unrealistic expectations about their jobs and life in general.
Left: Brandon Yankowitz, Right: Josh Sugarman
If making movies is an "unrealistic job expectation," then Brandon Yankowitz, Josh Sugarman and Duke Greenhill are the poster-boys for "Millennials" every where. Yankowitz and Sugarman both left lucrative careers as attorneys to co-write Trophy Kids, and chase their dreams of filmmaking. Greenhill, a former producer of controversial political ads (remember the Swift Boat ads?) did the same. There's even a reality show in the works about their "irresponsible" departure from stable, lucrative occupations to search for filmmaking fame.
So, what is their maiden project together? A movie about Manhattan Trophy Kids, of course.
And what better way to launch the development of the movie than with a gathering of real-life Millennials at one of Manhattan's most exclusive night-spots?

"We wanted to bring together the people that inspired this film to celebrate the beginning of this journey of ours," says Greenhill, "and to show that we may be 'Trophy Kids,' but that doesn't mean we can't do it.
In attendance will be the filmmakers themselves (Yankowitz, recently designated by Gotham Magazine, one of Manhattan's Most Eligible Bachelors), cast members from Project Runway and America's Next Top Model, and a host of Millennial representatives from the spectrum of the New York social scene, including Entertainment Weekly, GQ, Broadway, and Manhattan's fashion and underground music scene.

Dear Anonymous:
You must not be familiar with the MEDIA. There is this thing called a Press Release. People send them out so that the PRESS will cover a certain topic.
Obviously that blog received the same press release as we did.
Thanks for reading our blog :)
