Breaking Glass Pictures is thrilled to announce that HOLLYWOOD TO DOLLYWOOD is coming to DVD in time for the holidays. After playing at over 50 film festivals, sweeping over 20 awards and playing theatrically in major US markets, Hollywood to Dollywood will be available to own on November 6 (SRP $24.99). The film features appearances by Leslie Jordan ("Will & Grace"), Chad Allen (Donald Strachey Mysteries), Beth Grant (Donnie Darko), Dustin Lance Black (Milk), Ann Walker ("Sordid Lives"), and maybe even Dolly herself. Check out the film's official trailer below!

On the fumes of a dream, twin brothers Gary and Larry Lane have written a script with a plum role for one of their idols, Dolly Parton. Having had no luck getting the screenplay into her hands, they embark on a cross-country journey to personally deliver it to her. They set off from Dolly's star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame heading east for Pigeon Forge, Tennessee in an RV named Jolene. Along Interstate 40 at rest stops, RV parks, bars, and hair salons, our intrepid band of travelers meet everyday Americans as they encounter everything from floods in Nashville to an Oklahoma tornado.

The journey is also one of discovery for the brothers, as well: their relationship with their parents; their hopes, fears and ambitions; the bigotry they've encountered; as they search for tolerance and acceptance and the joy of realizing their biggest dream: handing their screenplay to Dolly Parton.

Breaking Glass CEO Rich Wolff and the Lane brothers signed the deal. Gary Lane said, "We are happy to be represented by Breaking Glass Pictures who believe in the message of our film! And Dolly Parton herself said she was 'Proud to be a part of it."

Breaking Glass Co-President Richard Ross beamed, "We are thrilled to be a part of Hollywood to Dollywood. This film is incredibly charming and very moving. We're all rooting for Gary and Larry Lane as they set off cross-country to meet the one and only true icon and mega-star Dolly Parton. This is a journey that you don't want to end."

Hailed by comedienne Rosie O'Donnell as "a beautiful film", and featuring 15 Dolly Parton classics, the DVD will come packed with extras to delight all Dolly fans, including deleted scenes, new Dolly music, extended interviews, outtakes and more! 10% of every sale will go to Dolly's Imagination Library, a literacy charity for children.
