The Ghost of Johnny Cash in "Branson" at LAFF

The ghost of Johnny Cash made an appearance on Sunday night for the world premiere at the Los Angeles Film Festival of Brent Meeske's documentary "Branson," which follows the strange world of strip-mall performers in Branson, Missouri where over 50 theaters host concerts, performances, and other family friendly acts to a million people a year. The highlight of the film is the dark struggle of Johnny Cash impersonator Jackson Cash, who fights chronic drug problems while trying to maintain his growing career evoking The Man in Black. Afterwards, Jackson did a rousing performance of Cash classics, including the Nine Inch Nails cover, "Hurt."

Jackson Cash IS the hi-lite of the film. I would have liked more of his story and his battles with the dark side. BTW, thats a tacky ad disguised as a comment for a review that doesn't even mention your show.
