Meanwhile as the producers get ready for their Los Angeles premiere Sunday at the historic TCL Chinese Theaters as part of the Dances with Films festival, director/screenwriter Hunter Adams has released a teaser clip online.

Besides the Tunnel Hill State Trail, the film also used Ferne Clyffe State Park, Mermet Springs, downtown Marion and Vienna, the Goddard Chapel in Marion, a school in Grand Chain, the Williamson County Jail Museum in Marion, a bar near Olmstead, a house near Mill Creek and the moonshiners shack near the lower Big Muddy River.
The production also used the homes of two former Southern Illinois Congressmen, the E. E. Denison House in Marion, now Mimosa Manor gift shop on Cherry Street, and the A. J. Kuykendall House in Vienna. Denison served during Prohibition in the 1920s. Kuykendall served during the Civil War.
For more on the film, which is a tale of the woes of vengeance, check out their Facebook page which has all the latest updates, the website DigTwoGraves.com, as well as their IMDb page to check out some of the Southern Illinoisans who joined the cast and crew.
The film takes place during 1977 (with frequent flashbacks to 1947) in the fictional town of Egypt, Illinois. There's even a Charlie Birger reference early in the film, although the Miss Cheeserilla pageant that takes place is one of the few references to the director's native Wisconsin and the North Woods where the film was originally set.
