First things first: Barry Alexander Brown, the writer, director and editor of “Son of the South,” was wearing a Montgomery Biscuits cap during a recent phone interview with AL.com.
How do we know? Brown mentioned it, pointedly and proudly, while discussing the creative viewpoint for his new film. The cap wasn’t just window dressing Brown, 60, regards Montgomery as his hometown and although he no longer lives in Alabama, his roots here run deep.
“I love the South,” Brown said. “I’ve always wanted to do something about the South, where I grew up, and this was a very good story. This was a very inspiring story.”
