EVEN THE WISEST OF MEN WAS A FOOL FOR LOVE.
An aspiring singer-songwriter’s life and marriage suffer when the song he
writes for his wife propels him to stardom.
SHORT SYNOPSIS: Aspiring singer-songwriter Jed King is struggling to catch a break and escape the long shadow of his famous father when he reluctantly agrees to a gig at a local vineyard harvest festival. Jed meets the vineyard owner’s daughter, Rose, and a romance quickly blooms. Soon after their wedding, Jed writes Rose “The Song,” which becomes a breakout hit. Suddenly thrust into a life of stardom and a world of temptation, in the form of fellow-performer Shelby Bale, his life and marriage begin to fall apart.
As I said in my review of The Song, this is a movie that every couple should see. It is based on the life of Solomon as told in the books of Ecclesiastes and Song of Solomon. The story is gritty and real in parts and steamy and romantic in others. Perfect date night material. So what puts it over the top you ask? I say it is the cast and the music. Let me introduce you to them:
JED KING (Alan Powell) Jed is a young, rugged, charismatic (and wise‐beyond-his‐years) singer/songwriter painfully overshadowed bythe legendary musical accomplishments and catastrophic moral failures of his famous father, David King. Jed enters the music scene and a relationship with Rose, determined to maintain fidelity to his music, his bride, and his God. Fame and road-life soon take their toll, leaving him burnt out and broken by the same worldly pursuits that ensnared David.
Best known as a lead singer of Anthem Lights, Alan Powell is turning heads as a new actor with his breakout lead role in the movie THE SONG. Anthem Lights just released “You Have My Heart” and Alan has two feature films in post-production.

ROSE JORDAN (Ali Faulkner) Inspired by the love interest in
Song Of Solomon, Rose captivates Jed with her breath-taking beauty, wit, and the innocent charm stemming from her deeply committed faith. Romance and marriage soon follow, but after his meteoric rise to fame, she struggles to raise their son in the wake Jed’s absence.
Ali was recently dubbed a Rising Star by “Yahoo Movies!” and has accumulated a list of impressive credits over the last couple of years, including a featured role in “Twilight: Breaking Dawn.”

SHELBY BALE (Caitlin Nicol-Thomas) One of Jed’s fellow musicians. She’s a beautiful, brazen, and sultry singer and violinist. Just as hundreds of wives and concubines led Solomon astray, Shelby ensnares Jed in a world of temptation and addiction that nearly destroys him.
Caitlin is an accomplished violinist and recent actress, and a magna cum laude graduate of Berklee College of Music. She first landed the role of Jesse in the pilot for ABC country-music drama, “NASHVILLE” before being cast for THE SONG. In just the last year, she’s played shows in Ireland, Scotland, England, and multiple U.S. states including gigs at the legendary Ryman Auditorium and Grand Ole Opry.
