Oneota Film Festival

Ollie and Dean are making new friends in Decorah, Iowa — as an Official Selection of the Oneota Film Festival!

Friendly Faces is an Iowa-based web series following the exploits of Ollie Hart and Dean Overstreet as they set out to launch a rent-a-friend service for the eccentric residents of Harmony. Its 8 comedic episodes — from 8 Iowa directors — sees the boys on a casket shopping spree, being kidnapped by a murder clown, and going on a double date with a ghost as they navigate building authentic connections with their clients.

To fit the festival format, the series will screen in an abridged edit (5 episodes + a handy little recap of the skipped episodes).

About the Show

Friendly Faces is about the power and joy of community, both on-camera and off. Created, written, and funded by Keaton Fuller, the show was made with two goals: Telling a story about the power of building authentic connections, and serving as a means to build real-life connections in the Iowa arts community.

Each of the eight episodes are directed by eight unique, Iowa-based directors, and the show features dozens of Iowa performers who each contribute something special to bring this vibrant, colorful world to life.

After the COVID-19 pandemic created a nearly two-year halt in production, there was a period of time where it was unclear if the show would ever see the light of day. It was solely through the care and long-term dedication of our talented cast and crew that we are finally able to share the world of Friendly Faces.
