Love in the deep south

Outstanding... I think that adjective pretty much sums it up for this movie. These two clips originate from an independent film from 2000 called Red Dirt (I think at the time it pretty much went under the radar). It focuses as you can guess, on the story of two men, Griffith Joseph Burns (played by Dan Montgomery Jr) and Lee Todd (Walton Goggins)... the two develop a forbidden attraction to each other, in the ultra-conservative deep south, and ultimately have to face up to the consequences pursuing that love might entail. The pace of the film can be kind of slow at times, but the storyline and acting is very much enrapturing.
Dan Montgommery Jr. was really the draw for me for this movie. He was absolutely gorgeous at the time... Interestingly enough though, It's Walton who's found the real success since this film. I'm not sure if Dan still acts...
