David and Nathan Zellner to engage in some brotherly shove
If you’re not familiar with the event, it breaks down like this: Two folks (press, filmmakers or film professionals of some stripe) spend 12 minutes arguing one topic. Each person gets three minutes to debate, then is rebutted for three minutes by his opponent, then they do it again.

There may be blood. For those not familiar with the brothers, Nathan is the big one on the left in the photo above.
