Announcing the test screening of the locally filmed and produced movie “Hidden Creek.” This film tells the story of Jimmy, an elderly rancher who fears he might be losing his mind and suspects his son and daughter of furthering his dementia so they can sell the ranch out from under him. Filmed in our own San Luis Obispo County backyard on the lands of northern SLO County, written by local screenwriter, Steve Brody and produced by local graduates of Coast Union High School in Cambria, Julian Mercado and Darien Jewel, this movie will certainly tear at your heart strings.Hidden Creek presents a contemporary interpretation of the traditional rancher’s story. A tale that addresses themes of dementia, generational land preservation, grief associated with losing a loved one and their impact on small family dynamics.
