"To be honest - I didn't know we had rules!" Leomark Studios has released an official trailer for Call Me Brother, an indie coming-of-age romantic comedy of sorts from filmmaker David Howe. Over the course of a summer weekend, a sister and brother – named Lisa and Tony – are reunited after growing up separately and become "closer" than expected amidst the instability around them. Call Me Brother manages to both be about incest and a number of awkward coming-of-age subjects in a charmingly strange indie comedy way. The film stars Christina Parrish (writer for Rooster Teeth) and Andrew Dismukes (writer for SNL) as Lisa and Tony, along with Asaf Ronen, Danu Uribe, Kim Lowery, Presley Fuentes, and Charlie Ray Reid.

There’s a great documentary about what life is like in the fracking boomtowns of North Dakota entitled The Overnighters. In it, we witness an example of humanity at its simultaneous best and worst. Desperate men seeking an escape from troubles back home arrive to find a different sort of struggle that they may never overcome despite promises sold. Angels prove themselves to be demons and vice versa as director Jesse Moss collects candid interviews that reveal just how bad things are in a land of overblown and exploitative opportunity. And if it’s this harrowing an experience for those who’ve chosen to travel to Williston, what about the ones born and raised praying to leave this supposed boom for a normalcy their poverty has yet to provide?
Writer/director Nia DaCosta’s Little Woods therefore serves as a perfect companion piece that looks at the collateral damage of such environments.
