"Prayers from Pelham" is a southern tale filmed in 2003 produced by Lane Skye and directed by
Ruckus Skye.
 
Summary:  "Aaron returns to his hometown to find his ailing Aunt Enid only has
a few days left. His problems escalate when the town busybody spreads the word
that Enid will take prayers straight to God for anyone who asks. As the house fills
with people anxious for Enid's service, Aaron is torn between controlling the situation
and dealing with the loss of his Aunt. In this charmingly innocent comedy, we see that
things rarely happen the way we set out and usually it's for the best."
