Independent film Brotherhood gained a lot of good press earlier this year when it won the Audience Award at both SXSW and the Dallas International Film Festival. At the screening I attended at the Dallas IFF in April, director Will Cannon said that he still hadn’t found a distributor for a US release, only foreign distribution. Inside Pulse is pleased to announce that the film was just picked up for US release by Phase 4 at the Cannes Film Festival.
Brotherhood stars Lou Taylor Pucci (The Informers), Jon Foster (Pandorum), and Trevor Morgan (Mean Creek) as fraternity members involved in an initiation prank gone horribly wrong. The film is an edge of your seat thriller and fills all of it’s 85 minute running time with nail-biting tension. It was filmed in and around Arlington, TX and is based on a short film by director Will Cannon called Rosyln.
The Pulse: Brotherhood is currently holding the #1 spot in my Top 10 of 2010. I actually caught Lou Taylor Pucci and Trevor Morgan at the Dallas International Film Festival as they were about to introduce the film at its second screening. When I told them it was my #1, Trevor Morgan was surprised and said, “Wow, and a Roman Polanski film was released this year too! I can’t believe that our film is better.” Yes Trevor, your film is better. I’m very excited that the rest of the country will get to experience Brotherhood.
