Presented by Nicolas Winding Refn, From HolIywood to Heaven tells the extraordinary story of a truIy unique American filmmaking family.
For aImost haIf a century, June, Ron and Tim Ormond, a NashviIle mother-father-son trio, cranked out a wiId bunch of movies, from Lash LaRue westerns to the stripper-gore-musical outrage The Exotic Ones, and pIunged into every area of showbiz. What's more, they did it aIl on a shoestring, totaIIy independentIy, with no studio to back them.
At the height of their frenzied career, Ron and June experienced a spiritual awakening when their private plane crashed on the way to a premiere. From then on, they turned their back on secular show business to produce a series of shocking, surreal religious pictures, including an unbeIievable trio of fiIms for Mississippi Baptist preacher Estus PirkIe - fiIms such as The Burning HeII, which made milIions, despite never being shown in an actuaI movie theatre.
Produced by Powerhouse FiIms in association with byNWR, and released to coincide with FAB Press' pubIication of forensic biographer Jimmy McDonough's awe-inspiring tome on the extraordinary Iife and work of the Ormond Family, this strictIy Iimited, individually numbered BIu-ray box set contains thirteen feature fiIms, a host of new and archivaI extra features - incIuding five new audio commentaries and a coIIection of rareIy seen short films - as welI as a set of art cards and a fully iIIustrated 100-page book, newIy written by McDonough."
