A tragic story.
Utilizing fractured Appalachian storytelling, The Revival of Lee Mackey poetically tells the story of Rhea Jean, who after the violent death her friend Lee, commences on an arson campaign. This film is an experimental tale of displaced rural anxiety. The score is original music performed over the phone.
