It seems Memphis is the new Hollywood. There’s another movie that was shot primarily in Memphis (and the mid-south) with a primarily local cast and crew that has been circulating around the indy film industry: “Savage County“.

This horror flick is striving to be aired on MTV2, but it needs help from fans. In a campaign being managed by Eventful.com, fans are asked to visit eventful.com/competitions and “demand” to see “Savage County” on MTV. Eventful.com was the same company that helped that helped “Paranormal Activity” do as well as it did. If they can use this same magic on “Savage County“, then this film will really go places.

The Memphis-made film is the violent Tobe Hooperesque tale of a  group of Texas teenagers stalked by a family of vengeful rustics after a bloody prank-gone-wrong. From seeing the trailer, it looks to be a pretty well shot and scripted movie, it’s especially impressive that the movie was shot with a $250,000 budget.

So, watch the trailer, and if it’s something that you think you’d be interesting in watching, make sure that you demand it at eventful.com/competitions. I already have . The goal is 100 K and they’re already at 22 K, so get to demanding!

What did you think of the trailer?
