SOUTHERN HEART SET FOR RELEASE September 20, 1999 Southern Heart, a romantic comedy starring Peter DeLuise (21 Jump Street, SeaQuest) and introducing Jamie Hendrix Collins is scheduled for release in selected theaters October 22, 1999. Shot entirely on location in Mentone, Alabama, a rustic town nestled atop picturesque Lookout Mountain, this lighthearted yet thought provoking family film follows an up-and-coming young executive from New York to Mentone for the purpose of buying a tract of land for his company to strip mine. Under the pretense of acquiring the land for his private use, the executive is welcomed by the southern hospitality of Mentone's eccentric natives, with the exception of the beautiful but tough owner of a camp for physically and mentally disabled children. Reluctantly, she begins to fall for him, only to discover the true reason he wants the land. Suddenly she realizes that she may lose everything she holds dear to her heart. Ms. Collins together with her partner, Emily Carpenter, both natives of Alabama, served as authors of both the story and screenplay as well as producers. Along with Kyle Collins, they founded the Alabama limited liability company, The Isaac Group, L.L.C., an Alabama based production company dedicated to producing quality and entertaining films which can be enjoyed by the entire family. Southern Heart is their first feature. From a mere vision to the final print, the trio remained steadfast in their quest to make their dream come true. Both Ms. Collins and Ms. Carpenter are making their writing, producing and feature film acting debuts in Southern Heart and, with the exception of DeLuise, all of the remaining actors are native southerners. Collins also contributed selections to the musical soundtrack and score. "We laughed the whole time we were writing the script and I think that joy was translated to the screen. It's a film that is so full of the joy and beauty of being alive. I think it's going to be a breath of fresh air in the independent film arena and beyond", stated Carpenter. Collins agrees, stating that for her personally, "bundle up every good dream, throw in a little bit of struggle, and that is what this film has meant to me, this film is proof that dreams do come true, even the impossible ones".
