The first feature by Sonoma County filmmakers Ross Clendenen and Paul Hawley, this mock-documentary is an uproarious send-up of Northern California’s favorite business, focusing on the rivalry of four distinctly different wineries: Moreno Russo, a corporate family business that trademarked the word “family”; Peña Cellars, a traditional establishment that becomes the plaything of a rich party dude and his L.A. girlfriend; Hannon Winery, all-too-literally (and exhaustingly) a “one-man” show; and Sco-Gar, a long-distance marketing entity that doesn’t even touch the product. All are rivals for the coveted Golden Harvest Award and the success that “thumbs up” from a celebrity wine critic will provide. Critic David Templeton, who in the North Bay Bohemian wrote that “Corked is funnier than the last two Christopher Guest films put together,” will moderate a discussion with the filmmakers following the screening. With Jeffrey Weissman, Martina Finch, Ben Tolpin, Rob Reinis, Devin Westberg, Sara Woo, Todd Norris, Marte Maejstric. Camera/Editing: Miguel Medina. Producer: Brian A. Hoffman. Writers/Directors: Ross Clendenen, Paul Hawley. (US 2008) 90 min.
