Monticello Live

Fabled Motion Pictures has announced the release of the trailer premiere of The Perfect Host: A Southern Gothic Tale.

Co-written and directed by Arkansas native Derrick Sims, the picture was filmed in and around the infamous Allen House in Monticello in Spring 2016. It is currently in post-production in Wellington, New Zealand.

The Perfect Host: A Southern Gothic Tale is the story of a woman who returned, after many years, to her childhood home to bury her grandmother. While there, the woman and her daughter set up temporary residence in the Allen House. There is something odd about the elderly homeowners, but something even more peculiar about the property. The woman soon begins to unearth its history and finds the Allen House may contain something far more sinister than her elderly hosts.

The Perfect Host recently received an opportunity to have the final sound mix and colour completed at the world-renown Park Road Post (The Lord of the Rings, King Kong, District 9), and to help cover the cost, they’ve launched a new online fundraiser. The production has recently hired Arkansas-born-Los Angeles-based composer Cameron Chambers to do all music composition for the film, and part of the new fundraiser will cover his fees and orchestration costs.
