Trevor Povah wasn’t sure how local crowds would react to his surf movie, “Lost in the Middle.” But he got his answer last month when crowds lined up to see his 30-minute feature, which spotlights local surfers, surf spots and musicians.

More than 100 people had to be turned away at Downtown Brew, which is now bringing “Lost in the Middle” back for an encore presentation. (Sunday, 7 p.m., $8) The event will include live music and raffles.

Read about the movie here.

The folks at Downtown Brew, by the way, are now hosting a regular “Board Night” feature, which will entail screening movies about board sports. The next one, title yet to be determined, is set for Feb. 24.

Adding to their surf/board theme, DB will clear the stage for The Dentures, the county’s best-known surf band, Feb. 23.

In other entertainment news, Willie Nelson plays the Alex Madonna Expo tonight. The legendary country artist will be the second (Greg Allman) to perform at this venue.
