It’s definitely something that still doesn’t affect them.”

Nelson, who died for 45 years, is the subject of the film, but it’s not a traditional documentary. Early, Guffey erases through classic shots Adventures Ozzie & Harriet, The TV show ’50 -ih and 60s that made Nelson Teen Idol, before he was photographs with photos with one stars with a hit as a star like “Garden Party”.

Guffei’s original idea for the film was “almost a movie faith or voyeuristic approach”, in which he traveled to Guntersville and watch sites in his last days to observe sites that were meaningful for Nelson. But after a holiday with his wife for his anniversary in June 2024. year, they span with Florida with their Somerset, Ki. They had an early dinner in Pizza ED, earlier PJ’s Alei, and, I accidentally looked at that main room, where they have all their tables and cabins and it was still there in the corner. It’s on the stage. It’s on stage The Stage. ‘”

Later, Guffey contacted the editor Advertiser-shine, Guntersville’s newspaper, who put it in contact with Reporter Sarah Vatkins. She met him with local sources, provided historical context and came to the film as a producer. “He changed the game,” he says.

Some were present at the airport before the summer, which played the Nelson Group on the aircraft and hung that … not something … in the film in the film he recalls that he was in the film. Linn Upton adds her husband to beg Nelson not to go to the flight, then returned home and said, “I don’t feel good at all.”
