Show Wed/Thurs/Fri, November 11-13, 2015 C-3 The Park Record Film is about ex-sheriff's plight Local filmmakers looking forward to Park City screening By SCOTT IWASAKI The Park Record When the documentary "Peace Officer" won the South by Southwest Film Festival's Grand Jury and Audience Award earlier this year, it was the cherry on top of an eventful 2½ years for Provobased filmmakers Scott Christopherson and Brad Barber. The two had collaborated on the project, which centered around William "Dub" Lawrence, a former Davis County sheriff who established and trained Utah's first SWAT team, only to see that same unit kill his son-in-law Brian Wood in a controversial standoff 30 years later. The film examined that case and the cases of others who have experienced similar incidents. It also takes a look at the trend of militarizing the police. "This is the first feature-length that Scott and I have ever directed," Barber said during a join interview with Christopherson during a telephone call to The Park Record. "We were surprised that it got into South by Southwest to begin with, let alone winning an award there." Christopherson concurred. "Winning at South by Southwest has helped people take notice of the film and helped us distribute the film," he said. "Peace Officer" will serve as the finale for the 10th annual Filmmakers Showcase in the Jim Santy Auditorium on Sunday, Nov. 15, at 6 p.m. The screening is free and open to the public.

"I'm excited for the opportunity to do this," Christopherson said. "Virginia Pearce is a good friend of mine and it's always great anytime I can screen a film sphere," he said. "Since the story takes place in Utah, I think the people want to hear what's going on in the community and I can't think of a better place like the Filmmaker's Showcase." The film's idea started when Christopherson met Lawrence at a softball game. "At the end of the game and he told me about some film footage he wanted me to edit," Christopherson said.
