“Throwback Horror Movie in the style of MOTEL HELL meets Roger Corman’s LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS”
SYNOPSIS: Bobby Sweet is a country music legend and has been the world-renowned face of “Sweet Meats” since establishing his first restaurant with his wife in 1978.
How did his restaurant take off so quickly and what makes the meat so darn sweet?
Sometimes a “secret ingredient” should stay that way. They always say, “you’d be disgusted if you knew what you were really eating!” They might be right…
ABOUT THE PROJECT: NKY FILMS is proud to bring to life the story of Bobby Sweet and show that “elbow grease” isn’t just a saying, but also a flavor. Writer/Director Ricky Glore (All Your Friends Are Dead) will helm Sweet Meats and it will be filmed in Wilder, Kentucky at Bobby Mackey’s, the infamously haunted slaughterhouse featured on Travel Channel’s Ghost Adventures as well as Nick’s Restaurant in Harrison, Ohio.
