The brilliant filmmaker Mickey Reece has just dropped the teaser for his latest effort, COUNTRY GOLD ahead of its Fantasia 2022 debut this summer. Reece was the indie darling behind AGNES and CLIMATE OF THE HUNTER and now he has set his lens on the world of 90’s country music and existential crisis.
Set in 1994, COUNTRY GOLD stars Reece as Troyal Brux, an up-and-coming country singer who is invited by country music legend George Jones (Ben Hall) for a night on the town in Nashville – the night before George is to be cryogenically frozen.
Directed and co-written by Mickey Reece with his regular collaborator John Selvidge (CLIMATE OFTHE HUNTER, AGNES), the COUNTRY GOLD was produced by Kassie Gann (CHICKEN HOUSE), and executive produced by former Blumhouse and Divide/Conquer alum Zac Locke and Toronto International Film Festival’s Midnight Madness curator Peter Kuplowsky. The film will premiere this summer at the Fantasia International Film Festival in Montréal, QC, which runs from July 14th to August 3rd, 2022.
