    • Synopsis
    • Inventive and whimsical, Adrianne & The Castle is a true story of great love and loss. Alan St-George is a
      mascot-maker and artist in rural Illinois who hand-made an ornate castle with his late wife Adrianne.
      Since her death in 2006 he continues to put the finishing touches on Havencrest Castle, which stands as a “temple” dedicated to their transcendent love, and the creation of a truly authentic life.

      Acclaimed filmmaker Shannon Walsh (The Gig Is Up, Illusions Of Control) collaborates with Alan to tell his
      and Adrianne’s fairytale love story through fantastical musical re-enactments. In so doing, Alan grapples
      with his profound grief, revealing with lucidity and extraordinary candor his struggle to find a way forward
      without the love of his life.
