We are pleased to have been chosen to create the official site for the independent movie "This Is Not The South".

The movie focuses on the character "Ryan," who sets out to create a film about General Morgan's Civil War raid. But at some point he loses control, and it morphs into a film about three young friends in the Bristol Tennesse area struggling to overcome preconceptions.

The film was written and directed by Derek Davidson and produced by Karen Sabo.

Davidson is an established playwright and director. He has a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Florida State University, a master's from Miami University in Ohio and a doctorate in theatre history from the University of Washington.

Sabo has been a professional actor and was a resident director at Barter Theatre. She has a bachelor's degree from Hampshire College and attended graduate school at East Tennessee State University.
