PHOTOS: Ryan Gosling's Career in Pictures "We are thrilled to partner with the filmmakers and contribute to this extremely important conversation and do our part to keep the flame alive as we head into the elections in November," said Red Flag's Paul Federbush. Anonymous Content and Engine 7 Films produced with Gosling. "The very moment we started exploring the subject of apathy in today's youth, we knew there was something in the air," said Montgomery. "While cynicism prevailed in the national dialogue toward social and political causes, the youth was telling us something very different. Their voice was one of hope. The world has shown this to be true, from Iran, the Arab Spring, to Wisconsin, and now the world-wide 'Occupy' movement. This is such an electrifying time in our culture and we are so excited to partner with Red Flag to expand the reach of the film. Together it is our hope that ReGeneration will serve as a call to action as the groundswell of activism grows." Federbush negotiated the deal with Parlay Media's Kevin Iwashina, WME Global's Liesl Copland and Deborah McIntosh, Anonymous Content's Paul Green and Matt DeRoss and Engine 7's Joel Goulder, Jeremy Goulderand Chris Baker on behalf of the filmmakers.
