"The True Adventures of the Real Beverly Hillbillies" Had It’s World Premiere |
|
HCE is excited to announce that our film, The True Adventures of the Real Beverly Hillbillies, had it’s world premiere last night at The Nashville Independent Film Festival with a sold-out crowd! This heartwarming documentary follows the Virginia-based family originally selected for a reality show based on the legendary TV show The Beverly Hillbillies, before being pulled in 2003 as production began amidst public outcrys over the stereotypical portrayal of “hillbillies”. Three years later, they finally take a trip to visit Hollywood.

The True Adventures of the Real Beverly Hillbillies
USA 2006, 95 min.Director: Dub Cornett
Producers: Clarke Gallivan, Coke Sams
Camera: Jacob Young
Editor: Bob Sarles
Music: R.S. Fields, Bucky Baxter
Filmmaker and native Virginian Dub Cornett had a simple idea: do a reality television version of the old Beverly Hillbillies show. Take a hillbilly family and transplant them to the Babylon of pop culture - Hollywood, California. Dub figured his people - the hillbillies - would come off looking pretty savvy. He found the perfect family, the Griffeys, not far from his own hometown. Dub sold the series to CBS, but before the pilot was even shot, the show was being denounced on the floor of the US Senate as politically incorrect and offensive to mountain people. Next thing he knew, the show was cancelled before it had even been made. The Griffeys (all 7 of them) ended up with nothing. The True Adventures of the Real Beverly Hillbillys picks up where that story leaves off, as Dub takes the Griffeys on a cross-country trip in a 40-foot motor home all the way to Hollywood. It's a documentary about getting to know a family who may be outside the mainstream and well off the grid, but who have a great sense of who they are in the world and how to live life. It's a documentary about balancing of scales, setting things right and keeping promises. It's about seeing America through new eyes as we travel along with "the family Congress kept off TV." - Coke Sams
