The Accountant (2001 film)

The Accountant is a 2001 American independent Southern Gothic dark comedy short film written, directed by and starring Ray McKinnon and produced by Lisa Blount and Walton Goggins, who also stars in the film. Set in rural Georgia, the film follows on the O'Dell brothers Tommy (portrayed by Walton Goggins) and David (portrayed by Eddie King), who seek the assistance of a mysterious unnamed accountant (portrayed by Ray McKinnon) to save their multi-generation family farm from foreclosure due to outstanding debt. Determined to save another family farm through rather unconventional methods, the accountant also takes the brothers on a crusade regarding his corporate conspiracies regarding the decline of American family farms and his quest to save Southern culture. Filming took place in and around the cities of Douglasville and Covington in the state of Georgia.
