Nicely Entertainment Acquires Romantic Drama ‘My Country Heart’ From Director Ate de Jong

As a seasoned movie reviewer with over three decades of experience under my belt, I have seen my fair share of romantic dramas, but none quite like “My Country Heart.” With its original 17 songs, this film is a breath of fresh air in an industry often oversaturated with repetitive tunes.


Entertainment company Nicely has acquired worldwide distribution rights for the romantic drama “My Country Heart,” directed by Ate de Jong, and boasting seventeen unique compositions as its soundtrack.

Vanessa Shapiro, Nicely’s CEO, expressed her excitement about representing the movie ‘My Country Heart.’ She believes that its unique original music, heartwarming romance, and universal appeal will resonate with viewers worldwide. Furthermore, Director Ate de Jong is a talented filmmaker with an impressive resume. His film ‘Drop Dead Fred,’ which humorously tackles complex issues, is now recognized as a trailblazing picture in the industry.

In “My Country Heart,” director De Jong crafts another trailblazing film that offers an unusual perspective on aspiring artists grappling with the sacrifices demanded in the ruthless realm of show business. However, De Jong also infuses the narrative with its original idealism and romantic undertones, while providing a harsh critique of today’s reality TV industry.

Steven Gaydos, an experienced screenwriter and journalist in Hollywood, who has previously worked on Monte Hellman’s “Road to Nowhere,” which won the Golden Lion at the Venice Festival, was recently honored with a career achievement award. This recognition came earlier this year at Fantasporto, where the film premiered under the title “Heart Strings” in competition.

The movie focuses on two aspiring country music artists battling their way up in the cutthroat U.S. country music scene. Alongside its own tunes, it boasts a score by Randy Edelman and a main theme sung by the Bellamy Brothers.

De Jong expressed that the goal was to create a film that resonates with young people currently navigating tough issues in their personal and private lives. Given Nicely Entertainment‘s relatively recent rise as a significant producer and distributor of films that are both enjoyable and carry strong, thoughtful values, he feels ‘My Country Heart’ will appeal to this demographic not just in America but worldwide.
