Here's a synopsis for Southern Gothic from Young's official website: "Southern Gothic is a dark horror/thriller set in the South, and chronicles a man who must atone for a tragic mistake by saving a little girl from a band of ruthless, undead killers. Hazel Fortune (Yul Vazquez) works in a strip club in the small Southern town of Redemption. Haunted by the death of his only daughter, Fortune has become a self-destructive, suicidal alcoholic, until he meets Starla Motes (Nicole DuPort). Hazel's downward spiral is interrupted when he is befriended by Starla's daughter, Hope (Emily Young). But when Hope is kidnapped by Enoch Pitt (William Forsythe) - a ruthless, psychotic preacher on a bloody crusade - Hazel must make the decision to rejoin the living, and risk life and limb to save her from a terrible end."

Young's other upcoming movies include Tooth and Nail.
