Motion Picture A Pure Country Gift Stars Country Singer Katrina Elam in First Feature Film Role
NASHVILLE, Tenn. - (BUSINESS WIRE) - Angry Monkey Entertainment announced today that A Pure Country Gift,
directed by Christopher Cain, produced by Scott Duthie, executive
produced by Hunt Lowry and written by Cain with son Dean Cain, has
wrapped production in Nashville, Tennessee. The picture, which stars
country singer Katrina
Elam in her first feature film role, includes an appearance by
Grammy-award winner George
Strait; the star of Warner Brothers' Pure
Country, directed by Cain and released in 1992.
Although not a sequel to the original Pure Country, A Pure
Country Gift revisits the same heartland and genre that have made
that picture a classic among country music fans; seen through the eyes
of an aspiring, female country singer. Elam's character is granted the
spiritual blessing of a beautiful voice, only to lose it when her fame
causes her to lose sight of her ideals.
Director Chris Cain comments, "We look forward to introducing this movie
to the fans who made Pure Country such a success over the years.
We believe audiences will fall in love with Katrina Elam, a young
actress who brings as much appeal and talent to the screen as she does
to her music."
Starting with the release of her debut single No End In Sight in
2004, Katrina Elam has, to date, charted a total of four singles on the
Billboard Hot Country Songs charts. Universal South Records released
Elam's self-titled debut album. Recently, Elam co-wrote the track
Change on Carrie Underwood's 2009 album Play On, and Reba
McEntire covered her song I Want a Cowboy.
Cain directed the 2007 feature film September Dawn, starring Jon
Voight, Terence Stamp and Lolita Davidovich. He also directed the
classic films Young Guns, Where The River Runs Black,
Rose Hill, The Principal and The Stone Boy.
A release date has not yet been set.
