GYM RAT is a darkly comedic psychological thriller about Lonnie Milsap, an ex-con and obsessive bodybuilder determined to transform himself into the person he believes he is meant to become.

As Lonnie's pursuit of the perfect physique—and his dream of becoming a champion—intensifies, the line between ambition, obsession and self-destruction begins to disappear.

The film explores body image, addiction, masculinity, external validation, rage, vulnerability and the psychological costs of chasing an idealized version of yourself.

Starring Josh Murray, Lou Ferrigno, Mariana Vicente, Greg Orvis, and feature fitness icons like Mike O'Hearn, Chef Andre Rush and Whitney Jones GYM RAT takes audiences inside a world where the strongest-looking person in the room may be fighting the biggest battle.

After the film, stay for a special discussion with:

• GYM RAT filmmakers and cast
• Taylor Hooton Foundation representatives
• Medical and health experts
• Special guests from the sports and fitness community

The conversation will explore the issues portrayed in GYM RAT—including performance-enhancing drug use, body image, health risks, mental health, and the pressures facing athletes and young people in today's fitness culture.

This is an opportunity to go beyond the movie and have an honest conversation about what can happen beneath the surface of a strong physique.

A portion of proceeds from this event will benefit the Taylor Hooton Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to educating young people about the dangers of anabolic steroids, appearance- and performance-enhancing drugs, and other related substances.

The Foundation's mission aligns closely with one of GYM RAT's central themes: understanding the whole person and the big picture, not just short term results.

Come see GYM RAT on the big screen, meet members of the filmmaking and fitness communities, and be part of an important conversation about health, body image and the pressures surrounding today's physique culture—all while supporting the work of the Taylor Hooton Foundation.
