DYER v. CHILDRESS
Where plaintiff brought a defamation suit against a former film school colleague and others involved in the production of a movie portraying a "rebellious slacker" with plaintiff's name and addressing issues facing "Generation X" individuals in the 1990s, trial court properly denied defendants' anti SLAPP motion on ground that conduct at issue was not in furtherance of defendants' exercise of their constitutional right of petition or the constitutional right of free speech in connection with a public issue or an issue of public interest.
