Last week in Bend, Oregon, THE OVERBROOK BROTHERS had a huge weekend, winning 3 different awards at the 2009 BendFilm Festival.  They include:

Best Actor – (Mark Reeb) The Overbrook Brothers
Best Screenplay – (John Bryant & Jason Foxworth) The Overbrook Brothers
Best of Show – The Overbrook Brothers

Here’s a blurb from Morgan Salvo (The Source Weekly) that I really like:

The Overbrook Brothers (Directed by John Bryant) This movie swept up three completely deserved awards: Best of Show, Best Screenplay and Best Actor (Mark Reeb).  A hilarious and realistic comedy, it features the road trip of two brothers on a mission to discover their heritage and their escalating rivalry.  Reeb delivers a performance that is a cross between Josh Brolin and John Malkovich.

BendFilm – October 8th thru October 11th, 2009
Screening Date/Time: Friday, October 9th at 8:00 pm – Regal 5
Screening Date/Time: Saturday, October 10th at 10:00 am – Sisters Movie House
Screening Date/Time: Saturday, October 10th at 8:00 pm – McMenamins 1

And on a very different note – a blog/information free-for-all/website that I’ve found absolutely wonderful and thought provoking in these tumultuous indie film times is Truly Free Film – written by producer Ted Hope.  It’s not as much a call to action as it a bevy of ideas, information and solutions to nurturing and expanding our film culture. In my opinion, it’s a must read if you’re a media-maker.
