Starring Emmy Winner - Leslie Jordan, Chad Allen, Gary and Larry Lane,
and Greg Baird
Gary and
Larry Lane were born and raised in Goldsboro, North Carolina. Most of their
fondest childhood memories come from this quaint little town, along with their
strong, yet semi-strict family upbringing.
Currently,
the Lane Twins are living the high life in Los Angeles, California, soaking the
sun up with all the other angels. When asked about being identical twins, the
Lane brothers say they always think of it as being a very special and wonderful
gift. A gift that they are using to their benefit in reaching Hollywood
stardom. It has already opened so many doors for these two, that they have had
roles in such big flicks as "Spiderman," "Zoolander," and
"The Patriot" and 2 national commercials under their belts- Dr.
Scholls Gellin Gellin, and Commerce bank. They are also the first ever $50,000
winners of NBC's Fear Factor.
They are so
thankful for this gift, yet so much more thankful for the gift of family. In
the end, it all boils down to the tremendous love and support they received from
their family.
As for their
latest venture "Hollywood to Dollywood", we grew up listening to
Dolly's music and always thought she was an amazing person. So why not write a
screenplay about her, and go on a cross country roadtrip to try to put it in
her hands! Also asked her for 15 of her songs to use in the film, and have to
go on a crazy show on ABC called WIPEOUT and win $50,000 just to pay for the
songs!

the foothills of the Appalachians, not far from Dollywood, John has been a fan
of country, bluegrass and roots music since he was knee-high to a
grasshopper. And tackling the epic
sprawl of a cross-country road-trip documentary for his first feature was a
thrill since it centered on the incomparable Ms. Dolly Parton.

directing and editing numerous pilot presentations, music videos, EPK’s and web
series.

MIKE BOWEN, Producer and lead
Designer Michael Bowen was born in Lakewood, Ohio in 1974. At the age of 20 Michael moved to Los
Angeles to pursue a career in film and design. Michael began work immediately in both fields, first as an art
department coordinator and then as a production designer on several films and television
productions. Michael used the
knowledge he gained to begin the highly successful production design house
“2DESIGN” where he became the production designer and on-air “design guru” for
“extra” television.
Recently Michael has brought his talents to a completely unique
venture. He has founded
BowenBirdhouses.com a company that provides Hollywood quality miniature
versions of real homes built as birdhouses.
In “Hollywood to Dollywood” Michael not only joins the twins on
their cross country journey; he also designed the interior of the RV, Jolene.
He was inspired by all things Dolly.
Dollyʼs love of butterflies inspired him to cover the whole back
wall in paper butterflies. In addition Michael created a custom birdhouse built to
resemble her childhood home in hopes of presenting it to her personally on the
trip.
