SXSW Bound Musical Hybrid Documentary ‘Adrianne & The Castle,’ Debuts Trailer (EXCLUSIVE)
Shannon Walsh's documentary 'Adrianne & The Castle,' debuting at SXSW, pays homage to the love story between Alan St. George and his late wife
Walsh follows St. George as he puts the finishing touches on Havencrest Castle while also grappling with his grief over the passing of his wife. Walsh teamed with producer Ina Fichman (“Fire of Love”) to make the doc, which Fichman calls a”documentary musical.” The duo pitched the idea for the film in 2022 at the Hot Docs Forum, where projects are presented for co-production financing to a roundtable of leading commissioning editors, film fund representatives, financiers, programming executives and angel investors. “This project resonated so profoundly with the committee at the CBC because I think at its core, this is a film about our human values; what means something to us; and how we cope with loss, and learn to love and what that means,” says Fichman, who also produced SXSW 2024 doc feature “7 Beats Per Minute” about free diving champion Jessea Lu.
