“BOYS OF SUMMERVILLE” COMES TO THE ROANE STATE THEATER JUNE 26TH!

In the second of a planned entertainment series for Roane County and the surrounding area, Princess Productions, in conjunction with Lycan Entertainment, and Roane State Community College, will present Brooks Benjamin's "Boys of Summerville" at the college theater at 7 PM on June 26!

Tickets will be $5 and available at the Rocky Top General Store and the Jewelry Exchange in Harriman soon.

Brooks, a local filmmaker and educator, has been taking the indie movie to film festivals this past year and has gotten great reviews. The film is Brooks' tribute to his father, who passed away in 2000.

“One of the characters in the movie, Charles “Buddy” Davis, was based on my father, Charles Davis Benjamin, who passed away from cancer in 2000. I wanted to make a movie as a tribute to him, and since he loved comedies and softball so much, I thought this would be a perfect movie to make."

The film was shot right here in Roane County and many of the buildings and locations will be easily recognizable by area residents.

Brooks Benjamin was born in east Tennessee and graduated from Middle Tennessee State University with a bachelor's degree in Interdisciplinary Studies.

Since college, Brooks has written and directed several commercials and short films, including his award-winning feature thriller, "Point of Fear".

Brooks and his wife, Jackie Barnes, who were married in the Princess Theater, are the owners of Lycan Entertainment, their production company.

On hand, to honor and help celebrate the “hometown” showing of “Boys of Summerville” with Brooks, will be Muse Watson and Bill Landry. After the show, the audience will be permitted to ask questions about the movie, movie production in general, upcoming shows, and about progress being made on the Princess restoration.
