Southern Gothic Productions Blog

A little over a year ago, Hilarie Burton and Kelly Tenney started Southern Gothic Productions. We both feel strongly that Wilmington, NC is the right setting to create quality films for reasonable budgets. Since then, we have been developing multiple projects for both the feature and television markets, along with working on the hit TV series One Tree Hill.





SYNOPSIS:

Lincoln Booth is a successful rags-to-riches photographer.
He has the vision of a truly gifted artist.
He is young and handsome.
He is good with women.
He has a lump.

Confronted with mortality, and the realization that his world in New York is far from supportive, Lincoln decides to return home to North Carolina so he can reconcile a life he left at 15 years old. But does he really have the nerve to go back?
Lincoln finds courage, and even better, a beautiful distraction, in the form of Mona Mills; a designer-label, Pedicab driving, human antidepressant. Mona, the embodiment of his over-active imagination, is in turn drawn to the mystery of Lincoln, and the challenge of cracking his self imposed isolation.
After a few chance encounters, and an undeniable spark, Lincoln invites Mona on a road trip to North Carolina; an invitation she readily accepts, although naïve to the excursion’s real motivation.

Their journey down the east coast is punctuated with colorful characters, shared vulnerability, and the hope of new possibilities. That is, until the true purpose of the trip surfaces. Feeling used and discouraged, Mona heads back to New York, forcing Lincoln to face his weaknesses alone, and remedy the choices he’s made; past and present.

Can he reestablish the family ties that were severed years ago? Will he find a way to get Mona back? Most importantly, does Lincoln have the strength to let down his guard and overcome his fears of love and reliance?

Touching and relevant, PEDESTRIAN reminds us that we all have what it takes to be more than just a nameless face in the crowd.

QUOTES
“I’m taking a road trip. I’d like you to come.”
“Where to?”
“Somewhere grossly rural.”
“Will there be goats.”
“I can promise cows.”

“There is a kind of person,
a kind of person that wants
to be more than they are ...
... I'm that kind of person.
You are probably said person.”

“You make me feel like ... something's gonna happen”

ikr? And he formats everything out so pretty (with his spacing, alignments, using italics/bold), so his posts are just really aesthetically pleasing to my eyes.
