Jason B Martin’s 20-year passion project, Legend of the Ghost Road, finally came to life on Friday, September 23rd. Statesboro’s highly anticipated Legend of the Ghost Road movie was made freely available for the public during its nightly premiere downtown. Movie-Goers brought their own chairs or cars to see the event, which was packed. The audience spread from the parking lot to the sidewalk across the street.

The event was projected on a giant inflatable movie screen courtesy of Party Harbor. The movie itself was a 53-minute long production about the producer, Jason B Martin, and his crew’s experience documenting the Ghost Road of Brooklet County.

The movie mainly garnered positive reviews from attendants. The general consensus seemed to be that the movie captured many people’s experiences when visiting the road. One attendant, John Williams, talked about how he and his girlfriend enjoyed the film. It was enjoyable because it captured the couple’s past experiences with the ghost road. “It was New Year’s Eve, 2020,” Williams said. “We was driving down we’ve seen the light come on, disappeared for five seconds. We drove forward; within 30 seconds, it was like green fireworks in the shape of money.”

The movie was a success. After the movie ended, the film crew sold T-Shirts to any who wanted for $25.
