Synopsis:

“Hollywood in the High Country: A History of the Appalachian Theatre” is a feature-length documentary that explores the 69-year history of Boone’s iconic main-street cinema prior to its closing in 2007. The magic of the movies comes alive through the stories of locals who grew up in front of the theatre’s silver screen. The film also recounts the efforts of the townspeople to purchase and renovate this long-closed theatre into a performing arts center.

This documentary film is the work of Philip Arnold which he generously produced, directed, and edited for the Appalachian Theatre of the High Country. Philip worked his way through more than 60 hours of interview footage with 63 different individuals in order to select appropriate clips for the documentary. We are grateful for his work on this project.
