The trailer is out and the opening dates are set for the theatrical run of Douchebag, former Santa Ana resident Drake Doremus' dramedy about two brothers embarking on a spontaneous road trip despite hating one another.
As he did at Sundance and the Newport Beach Film Festival, Doremus will take audience questions at opening night screenings.

That includes the Oct. 15 premiere at Regency's South Coast Village Theater, the same cineplex that showed Douchebag during the NBFF.
The film first opens Oct. 1 at New York's Village East and Oct. 8 at the Nuart in Los Angeles. After Orange County, it's on to San Francisco and Berkeley on Oct. 22. Doremus will be there to open the film in all those towns.
He'll also do the Q&A thing over the Oct. 29 weekend openings in San Diego and Denver. Douchebag also opens then in Philadelphia, Seattle, Minneapolis and St. Louis.
