South of Sanity Review

Written and Directed by: Robert Peters, Shy Pilgreen

Starring: Shy Pilgreen, Robert Peters, Jennifer Pierce Mathus, Shacetta ‘Tay’ Listenbee

Robert Peters and Shy Pilgreen’s unique dark comedy South of Sanity premieres on digital platforms on July 1 from All Channel Films.

Spanning the years 2018 to 2022, follows Lacy Hilgreen, a recovering addict, and her dysfunctional Alabama family through the flea market circuits of the Deep South.

Fresh out of rehab, fresh out of money, and fresh out of options, Lacy is forced to leave Los Angeles and return to her home in rural Alabama and help with the family business to make ends meet. The flea market is no place for a recovering addict, however, as the family uses their booth as a cover for their meth operation. Using the code word “wholesale”, customers of Hilgreens’ booths can purchase some of Alabama’s finest crystal. Sex tapes, STD, and meth-laced candies are just a few of the topics tackled by South of Sanity, not to mention the family’s dealings pre, mid, and post-pandemic. The Hilgreens keep it brutally real in its depiction of recovery, redemption, and hilarious roadblocks encountered along the way.
Lacy is joined on her journey by her brother Mike and sister-in-law Ila, who run the family flea market, her hellion nephews Rowdy and Ryder, wild niece Rebel, Ila’s cousin and resident alcoholic Jeff, her cousin Tori, the only “sane” one in the family, and a one-night stand that lasts way longer than planned.

Shy Pilgreen, Robert Peters, Jennifer Pierce Mathus, and Shacetta ‘Tay’ Listenbee star in South of Sanity, premiering on digital July 1.

The Review

This movie is the start of something very very good(hopefully sequels).  Usually, I have my notepad and pen ready to write notes but this one had me lost in its fantastic and craziness.   It was very inspiring in weird ways also it was a wonderful escape into someone else’s life that has everything hanging by a thread. This movie was vair good and it was a journey so you must watch it to know for yourself!
