The music documentary Takin’ Care of Business took care of business at the inaugural Round Top Film Festival in Texas. The film about Canadian rock musician Randy Bachman – founder of the bands The Guess Who and Bachman-Turner Overdrive – earned the Audience Award at the debut event in the small town 75 miles east of Austin.

The feature directed by Tyler Measom explores how Bachman searched for decades for a precious musical instrument that was stolen from him – his beloved 1957 Gretsch 6120 guitar on which he wrote the hits “American Woman,” “Takin’ Care of Business,” and “You Ain’t Seen Nothin’ Yet.” “We are so honored to receive the Audience Award from the Round Top Film Festival!” said Russell Wayne Groves, producer of Takin’ Care of Business. “From the incredible festival founders, Shanna and Skylar Schanen, all the way to the amazing volunteers who kept things running smoothly, we are just humbled by the love for our film at RTFF.

It’s so rare to have a film festival show such love and care for art these days, but RTFF did that in spades. I highly recommend that all filmmakers pay attention to RTFF as it continues to bring the celebration of film to the great state of Texas.” The festival founded by the mother-daughter duo of Shanna Schanen and Skylar Schanen ran from Nov.

7-10, screening 48 films, including seven world premieres and 17 Texas premieres. Prizes were handed out in 8 categories, including the above-mentioned Audience Award: Round Top has already set dates for its second-ever festival: Nov.
