Trailer for Pickin' & Grinnin', which screened at Austin Film Fest 2010.
There aren’t too many hit songs written about corndogs. Unfortunately, that’s what music-loving brothers, Johnny and Milo Johnson, have to do to make a living. As they begin to grow tired of playing music in small towns, being ridiculed for being losers, and playing shows in small hick towns, they hear about a sing-a-long contest in Nashville. From that setting, the film Pickin’ & Grinnin’ is born. As their Winnebago makes its way across the country, the boys learn about music and brotherhood. Writers Johnny Dowers and Garrett Mathany accurately capture the quick quips of two men who have known each other their whole lives, but find out they still don’t know everything.
