Moscow native's debut feature film shows in his hometown

A scene from the indie comedy "Buddymoon," about two men who trek through the Oregon wilderness on a previously scheduled honeymoon after one of the men is dumped by his fiancee before his wedding.

“Buddymoon,” a 2016 indie comedy directed by Moscow native Alex Simmons, is coming to the big screen Tuesday in Moscow.

The movie premiered in select theaters around the country last summer and stars David Giuntoli, from TV’s “Grimm,” as a man named David who is left by his fiancee just days before the wedding. His friend Flula, played by German YouTube personality Flula Borg, insists they go on David’s previously planned honeymoon in the Oregon wilderness.

The film will be shown at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 24 at the Kenworthy Performing Arts Centre, 508 S. Main St.

Alex Simmons

Admission is $5.

Simmons graduated from Moscow High School in 1996. He lives in Los Angeles with his wife, actress Jeanne Syquia, who has a role in “Buddymoon.” When Inland 360 caught up with Simmons for an update he said he’d recently returned from India where he was filming a documentary for the clothing company Patagonia and he’s at work developing more movie and TV projects with his friends Giuntoli and Borg. More importantly, he noted, he and Syquia are expecting their first child this summer.

Simmons and the film were featured in the Aug. 4 edition of Inland 360.
