The Mountain Minor

The Mountain Minor is a 2019 American drama film written, directed and co-produced by Dale Farmer, produced by Susan Pepper, and starring Dan Gellert, Elizabeth LaPrelle, Ma Crow, Asa Nelson, Hazel Pasley, Jonathan Bradshaw, Warren Waldron, Amy Cogan Clay, Judy Waldron, Trevor McKenzie and Mike Oberst.

[3] Farmer, an old-time musician himself, loosely based the movie on the story of his grandparents, who migrated as children to Ohio from Jackson County, Kentucky during the 1930s.

Though many scenes are set in Kentucky, they were filmed primarily at the historic Willet Ponds Farm[8][9] in Todd, North Carolina for logistical and budget reasons.

[14] James Peterson for the Old-Time Central described the film as "highly entertaining, packed with beautiful scenery, and full of great tunes played masterfully by the actors themselves".

Subsequent theatrical showings were canceled as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic causing most movie theaters and other entertainment venues to shut down beginning in March, 2020.
