WOMAN IS INSPIRED BY MOVIE TO RELOCATE TO MENTONE September 19, 1999 When Ms. Daisy Anne Elliot of Pintlala, Alabama was deciding on what movie she wanted to see, she never dreamed that it would be a decision which would ultimately change her life. In May, 1999, Ms. Elliot had seen an advertisement for the feature length motion picture, Southern Heart, and decided that she wanted to go see the movie. Upon seeing the film, the wheels were set in motion to change her life. Ms. Elliot had been in the health care industry for twenty-three (23) years. However, she had always quietly dreamed of opening a "tea room". After seeing Southern Heart , which was filmed, in its entirety, in Mentone, Alabama, a small picturesque town set in the mountains of north Alabama, she was so captivated by the beauty of the area as well as the "graphic message" of the movie, she decided to go see the film two (2) additional times. After seeing the movie the third time, she made contact with the DeKalb County Tourist Association and began her investigation of the area. Upon contacting the Mentone Inn, a local Bed & Breakfast, she discovered that the owners, Michael and Sarah Campbell, were looking for someone to serve as the innkeeper. "I could be your person", Ms. Elliot told them. Within weeks she had made the decision to relocate to Mentone and take the position. "The movie was the sole inspiration for my decision", Ms. Elliot stated, "the film had a very graphic message that spoke to my heart and that message is simply 'without a vision, the people will perish'." "The desire to live out my dream was quickened when I saw the film", Ms. Elliot added. After settling into her new surroundings and looking back on her decision, Ms. Elliot said, "there are times in our life that we feel God gives us clear direction, for me, this is one of those times, I have had a sense of peace about my decision and, just as it was portrayed in the movie, Mentone is an absolutely beautiful and peaceful place to live. I just want to thank the producers (Jamie Hendrix Collins, Emily Carpenter & Kyle Collins) for pursuing their dream in order to inspire me to pursue mine". Southern Heart is a lighthearted romantic comedy starring Peter DeLuise (21 Jump Street, Sea Quest) and introducing Jamie Hendrix Collins. In addition to starring in the film, Ms. Collins, together with Ms. Emily Carpenter, also wrote the story and screenplay and produced this independent movie.
