Pecan Park

When a film is rooted in a city's soul, you feel it-and Pecan Park doesn't just showcase Jacksonville, it breathes it. From the first frame to the last, this indie powerhouse grips you with emotion, authenticity, and a level of storytelling that feels both personal and universally relatable.

Directed by Jacksonville's own Bryce Howard, Pecan Park is not your average indie flick. It's a gritty, emotionally charged journey through human connection, identity, and the silent battles we fight when no one's watching. The cinematography captures North Florida's heart-the overlooked streets, the golden-hour glow of neighborhoods, and the worn textures of real life that only locals truly know.

But it's the performances that leave you speechless. The cast delivers raw, unfiltered emotion that doesn't feel acted-it feels lived. Every silence is weighted. Every line feels like a confession. You'll find yourself leaning in, not to catch the action, but to feel the pulse of every scene.

What makes Pecan Park special isn't just where it was filmed-it's how it was filmed. It's a love letter to the city, yes, but more than that, it's a mirror held up to anyone who's ever questioned their place in the world, wrestled with their past, or fought for peace within chaos.

It's local. It's powerful. It's unforgettable.

This isn't just a movie you watch. It's one you feel.

This film was written, casted and shot very well. Bravo! There was a true sense of family between the Father and two sons as they struggled to create lives of there own while barely holding together the life they've always known with each other. The events good and bad that altered the course of their live was totally believable and supported by the script and additional cast. Never seen the city of Jacksonville look as good as the location and was very impressed by the shot compositions the whole movie. This was really good Bryce. Flawless effort from you and your team.
