Ghost Town

This unique “eastern” Western is North Carolina native Dean Teaster’s tribute to his father, Robert Doyle Teaster, and the Ghost Town In The Sky theme park. The park was a source of childhood happiness for Dean’s family and many others since its opening in 1961 in nearby Maggie Valley. Combining factual information about his great-great-grandfather Harold and the best elements of the staged gunfights at Ghost Town In The Sky, the story paints a picture of the beautiful mountain region settled by the Celtic people, whose rich traditions and true grit allowed them to survive and thrive during the rugged 1800s. With a slight romantic edge, the film is filled with messages about love, hate, family, forgiveness, redemption and sacrifice. Filmed in North Carolina.
