ONE NIGHT ONLY!
A spiritual follow-up to his award-winning Elvis biopic, ALIEN, COUNTRY GOLD surreally satirizes American celebrity as it captures two music legends at a fictionalized career crossroads. Set In 1994, it tells the story of Troyal Brux (Mickey Reece), an up-and-coming country music star, as he joins Country legend George Jones (MINARI’s Ben Hall) for a wild night on the town in Nashville - the eve before George plans to get cryogenically frozen.
Mickey Reece is "one of the DIY indie world’s best-kept secrets" (RogerEbert.com). Since 2008, he has amassed a remarkable catalog of unique feature films out of Oklahoma, including T-REX (2014), ALIEN (2017), STRIKE DEAR MISTRESS AND CURE HIS HEART (2018), CLIMATE OF THE HUNTER (2019), AGNES (2021). COUNTRY GOLD is his 29th film.
