Local musician/actor/filmmaker Ben Lovett talks about the process, people and places in his short film, “Ghost of Old Highways,” and its forthcoming behind-the-scenes companion film, “The Making Of.”

Lovett’s debut album, Highway Collection, was released last spring. Since then, the producer/composer/bandleader has been hard at work producing and starring in videos for each of the record’s nine tracks. Along the way, one of those projects took on a life of its own and eventually morphed into a free-standing short film, complete with its own score, photography exhibit and art show. On Wednesday, Lovett brings that epic multimedia smorgasbord to Asheville with an equally epic presentation that spans three venues across downtown Asheville. Xpress sat down with the artist at Echo Mountain to discuss the project.
