The Oak Ridge community is full of talent and opportunity. Keith McDaniels is a stellar example consistenly producing and directing award winning films as well as being an amazing performing artist. Recently Keith McDaniels teamed up with director film maker Brooks Benjamin to create, "Boys of Summerville". East Tennessee's very own David Keith even got involved in this one.

Homegrown indie film ready for red carpet
By Betsy Pickle (Contact)Sunday, April 13, 2008


When Brooks Benjamin was shooting "Boys of Summerville" last June in his hometown of Kingston and nearby Harriman, Rockwood, Oak Ridge, Alcoa and Maryville, he was thinking of green outfields, not red carpets.


But Thursday night, Benjamin and his cast and crew will get the Regal treatment when "Boys of Summerville" has its premiere at 7 p.m. at Regal Cinemas' Downtown West theater.


Benjamin, a filmmaker who earns a living as a schoolteacher, had met Regal's Ted Hatfield, director of film marketing, and Jon Douglas, alternative film marketing manager, when he was trying to promote his first independent film, the thriller "Point of Fear." He sent them the trailer for "Boys of Summerville" in hopes of receiving feedback.
