Country Gold (Mickey Reece)
The cost of fame sits in the living room wondering aloud whether dad will be home for Christmas. Why these two young boys’ voices have been deepened to sound like they’re 40-year-old drunks slurring through a bender is beyond me (an assumption of it being a dream or game is squashed once mom enters without the effect being called out), but their words have meaning. Troyal’s (Mickey Reece channeling Garth Brooks) star has risen to unimaginable heights and he’s embraced it to the point where his “good ol’ boy” demeanor can’t quite hide the growing ego beneath a cowboy hat. While Jamie (Leah N.H. Philpott) tries toeing the line of admiring his accomplishments and...

"Hell Troyal, it's Nashville, everybody down here's a musician." Fandor has revealed an official trailer for a fascinating, surrealist comedy indie creation called Country Gold, the latest from experimental filmmaker Mickey Reece. This premiered at the Fantasia Film Festival last year and is screening now at the Glasgow Film Festival before a small theatrical opening in the US. Set In 1994, the trailer introduces up-and-coming country music star Troyal Brux, as he joins Country legend George Jones for a wild bender in Nashville - the night before George plans to get cryogenically frozen. It "harkens back to an earlier Reece opus, the award-winning Alien, which reimagined the early days of Elvis and Pricilla Presley's marriage." If you're interested, there's screenings at select Alamo Drafthouses, presented by Fantastic Fest, and more theaters across the nation. Reece will be in attendance at select engagements in New York, LA, and Austin. // Continue Reading ›...

Mickey Reece's latest, the music comedy Country Gold, has been acquired by Cinedigm for a theatrical and digital release. Their plan is to give Country Gold a limited theatrical release in March then premiere it on Fandor, their indie discovery platform on April 4th. Our own Shelagh caught Country Gold and its world premiere at Fantasia this past Summer. You will find her full review here, an excerpt preceeds the official announcement. The only straight path through the trappings of fame and fortune is a crooked one, and Country Gold shines a stark light on that path's dark corners. It's a whiskey-infused feverdream for one man who wants to keep his nose clean, and another who refuses to acknowledge the dirt of his...

Some people make films for money. Some people make films to appeal to niche audiences. Mickey Reece makes films because he can. His stories are pure things, unfolding in their own time according to their own logic, and the results are always beguiling, albeit not always entirely successful by broader standards.
Country Gold, he says, is probably the only film about country music he will make, but there’s very little country music in it – like all his work, it’s really about the culture surrounding a particular idea. In this case, the central idea concerns legendary musician George Jones (played by this longstanding favourite Ben Hall) deciding to summon Garth Brooks-style rising star Troyal Brux (played by Reece himself) to Nashville for a night of drinking and conversation. What the starstruck Troyal doesn’t know is that this is to be George’s last night on Earth, at least for quite some time,...

For his latest project, indie wunderkind filmmaker Mickey Reece transports viewers back to the year 1994 as we follow Troyal Brux (played by Reece), a country music star whose popularity is quickly on the rise. One day, he gets invited to spend a day with the legendary George Jones out of the blue, and during their shenanigans, Troyal learns some hilarious truths about the price of fame and just how difficult life can be when you’re a superstar.
Country Gold recently celebrated its world premiere as part of the 2022 Fantasia Film Festival, and to mark the occasion, Daily Dead had the opportunity to speak with Reece about his newest cinematic endeavor and during our conversation, he chatted about bringing together the world of country music with ’70s-style storytelling, reteaming with Ben Hall once again for Country Gold, and more.

When, back in 2022, Mickey Reece told me that he planned to make a film about country music, I didn’t expect to see it turn up at the Fantasia International Film Festival, but there’s something about Mickey’s work which just naturally fits in that space. Country Gold is a comedy, as usual, and it stars the director himself as young, up-and-coming Garth Brooks analogue Troyal, who is ambitious and pretty full of himself yet starstruck when he gets the opportunity to go to Nashville and spend an evening with one of his own country music heroes, George Jones. What he doesn’t know is that this is going to be George’s last night out for quite some time, as the ageing star is planning to get himself cryogenically frozen the following day. When Mickey and I reconnected at the festival,...
