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.
