Abilene

Hello I need some help. This was filmed in my home county in Texas but I have never seen it. How can I watch it? Or get a copy ? Any help would be appreciated. .

Abilene touches the heart, soul, and conscience (hopefully) of the moviegoer. A refreshing tale about love and beauty told in the same manner as the Texas countryside itself -- unassuming, eloquent, simplistic, peculiar, and sometimes...forgiving. Joe Camp III has forged the aesthetic of movie making into a new realm upon which movie makers and viewers alike can reflect.

This is redundant, but the picture industry is overlooking the huge audience of nice people with gray hair. We are sentimental, nostalgic, love to shed a tear at a happy ending. We avoid obscenities, public nudity, abuse or addiction of any kind. Abilene is the essence of what our generation enjoys. I applaud those who assembled this beautiful, sensitive and modest motion picture.

Abilene is a heart-warming tale. It was refreshing to see this type and quality of a movie in this day and age. It proves that violence, sex, and foul language are not essential elements for an enjoyable show.

All of the actors and actress' did a fine job of portraying realistic people in small town America. This is an age group that needs to be addressed more often. Everybody knows about the "graying of America," however a large majority of the films are geared towards teenagers. Camp and crew did a good job of making this enjoyable for not only seniors, but all ages.

The storyline is humorous, sad, and sweet. The camera captures the beautiful vast landscape of Texas. The costumes were great, the music was an asset.

I hope that all will be able to sit back and watch this good ol'fashioned film, soon.

This was a great movie with beautiful landscapes. Joe Camp did a tremendous job of capturing the everyday life in a small texas town. although somewhat sad the story was very touching and at times very funny. The acting was very good Kim Hunter and Ernest Borginines roles were terrific. The story begins when Ernest Borgnines character (Hotis) learns of his brother's (Jarvis) sudden illness and attempts to travel to see him. however he is too proud to get a ride from someone else and comes up with a humorous way of getting there. The movie is filled with wonderful shots of the texas countryside and although a sad story it leaves you with a happy ending.
