VALDOSTA — A recently released movie trailer for “Spook Bridge” contains footage shot on the legendary span located in a wooded area of Brooks County.

Valdosta-based filmmaker Roy Kirkland said editing is nearly complete for the horror movie that wrapped filming at the end of last summer. Director Doug Sebastian is finalizing color-coding then it should be finished, Kirkland said.

But don’t expect to see a local premiere in the coming months. Kirkland and Sebastian’s RKDS Entertainment and Media will be shopping the film for a distributor, said Kirkland, who produced the film and wrote the script. The Valdosta-based film company also plans to enter “Spook Bridge” into film festivals and competitions.

RKDS does not plan to follow the goal of a local premiere as it did for its comedy “Grandma’s Blessings.” Instead, the company wants to attract a distributor for “Spook Bridge,” as it did for its first movie, the comedy “And, There You Are.”

“With ‘Grandma’s Blessings,’ the goal was a premiere in our hometown,” Kirkland said of the movie that had a premiere party a few years ago in Valdosta. “With ‘Spook Bridge,’ we’re looking at national distribution.”

Kirkland did not rule out a private screening for cast and crew who participated in filming.

The movie features several actors and actresses who live in the Valdosta/South Georgia region.

The majority of the filming took place in Brooks County, which Kirkland said opened its doors to the movie production. Brooks County Sheriff’s Office, the county courthouse and other Brooks County landmarks appear prominently in the movie trailer.

As does Spook Bridge.

“Spook Bridge,” the movie, touches upon legends surrounding the highway bridge that has been closed for several decades but will draw mostly upon a fictional story stretching from the South of 1916 to the early and mid-20th century when the span was first built to the abandoned span of more modern times.

Kirkland said the trailer has received strong, positive responses. He said he looks forward to people being able to see the movie in its entirety.

“It’s better than anything we’ve done in the past,” he said.
