“The Grace of Jake”
Tweetable logline:
Chris Hicky’s debut feature captures the heart & soul of the
Arkansas delta
Elevator Pitch:
goodbye to California. His destination is Palestine, Arkansas,
population 678. It’s here where his father lives and works as a crop
duster pilot, and Jake holds him responsible for all of life’s troubles-
failure, jail, the death of his mother. Jake returns with the
intention of revenge, but once he arrives to this small town, big things
start to happen. Jake soon becomes part of a colorful ensemble cast
that is as authentic and soulful as it gets, and it’s here where he’ll
find his redemption.
