Professor Evans, who returned to his native Alabama to meet the murderer, the victim\u2019s family and police investigators, admits it was a risky choice. But it was an artistic direction he says he felt compelled to follow.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s both complicated and risky. Sometimes you make a film or you make an art piece. You have to have that courage to step up and let it be what it wants to be,\u201d Professor Evans says.<\/p>\n<p>Professor Evans based the film on the murder of Scotty Joe Weaver, a young gay man killed by his best friend. Professor Evans shot the film entirely in his home state and combines long takes with stark and desolate image of rural Alabama and an intricate soundscape that creates \u201csuch a feeling of place and atmosphere that it very immediately becomes this work in which the viewer experiences place\u2026This sense of atmosphere where this horrible crime happened.\u201d His hope is that the viewing experience will prompt discussions about hate crimes and violence against gays.<\/p>\n<p>International filmmaker Nina Menkes praised the film, saying \u201cJonathan Pope Evans powerfully explores the territory where inner and outer realities tragically erupt in a surreal\u2013yet also: so very real, lonely landscape of the rural South.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The film has screened at a vast amount of film festivals, including at The Nashville Film Festival, the Montreal World Festival, San Francisco International Film Festival, Big Muddy Film Festival, Prague International Film Festival, Atlanta Film Festival, New Orleans Film Festival\u00a0and in the out-of-competition selections invited to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.festival-cannes.com\/\">Cannes Film Festival<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0 Jonathan Pope Evans, assistant professor of theatre, admits his film may not be easy to watch.
