DALLAS IFF 2010 Video Interview: Actors Lou Taylor Pucci, Trevor Morgan, Jon Foster (BROTHERHOOD)

Lou Taylor Pucci, Trevor Morgan and Jon Foster

BROTHERHOOD is a film that swept not only my heart (as I pronounced in our SXSW Podcast), but also swept the Audience Award for a Narrative film at both SXSW and Dallas IFF. In the film, fraternity brothers must work together to get through one of the hardest and most trying events they’ve ever dealt with– a shot friend. But can they keep the brotherly love while trying to escape the consequences of their actions?

One of the biggest factors for BROTHERHOOD is its cast, who really take the film to the next level by providing astounding performances. Their chemistry in the film is only overshadowed by their real life chemistry, which was very apparent while I interviewed the three main stars Lou Taylor Pucci, Trevor Morgan and Jon Foster.

SXSW 2010 Review: BROTHERHOOD

Rating: 9/10

Writer: Will Canon, Douglas Simon
Director: Will Canon
Cast: Trevor Morgan, Jon Foster, Lou Taylor Pucci, Arlen Escarpeta

To many, fraternities are a big part of the college experience, as they help someone branch out and meet people and find brothers for life. They can really open up someone’s world, and help them discover themselves. Or as the film BROTHERHOOD suggests, get you in a shitload of trouble that could easily put you in prison for a long time.

BROTHERHOOD is the story of Adam Buckley (Trevor Morgan) a college freshman who is rushing for the Sigma Zeta Chi fraternity. But when his final initiation of robbing a convenience store goes horribly wrong, he and his “brothers” find themselves dealing with a shot pledge.

Of course, taking their wounded friend to the hospital or calling the police is out of the question because then they would get in trouble. So an extensive cover-up plan is created by Frank (Jon Foster) a stubborn brother who isn’t ready to go down easily. Unfortunately, every one of their actions gets a reaction and a string of bad occurrences go down and Adam is stuck in the middle of it. What will he do?
