Being invited into the St-George's world and home was breathtaking. Their story and Havencrest Castle are indescribable, and I had the honor of exploring both for a day on the set of this documentary as a double for Adrianne.
A true story of love and loss, "Adrianne and the Castle" documents the unique life of the St-Georges who built a castle to their love in rural Illinois. Now facing the future without the love of his life, Alan grapples with his grief through creative musical reenactments of their story, transporting him into the fantasy world they created.
