Taking a brief hiatus from the Big City, King Corn co-producer Curt Ellis reported from Central Oregon’s Bend Film Festival this weekend, where King Corn took home the prize for Best Documentary!

King Corn was up against eighteen other delightful feature documentaries, among them the tale of a wiener dog racing contest and the unlikely story of a Pentecostal minister who receives a divine calling to…make movies.

While we never imagined corn would be more exciting to jurors than either wieners or fire and brimstone…we’re grateful the folks at Bend did!
