Hollywood actor/director teams up with local filmmaker
"Hollister, Mo - A local filmmaker is making her Hollywood dreams come true with the help of a man who knows a thing or two in the industry. Deborah Watson, Assistant Director, and Writer of “Not Too Far From Here,” is receiving help from Hollywood actor/director Kevin Sorbo.
“Not Too Far From Here” is a faith-based movie that spotlights domestic violence. Watson is thrilled to have Kevin Sorbo take the helm of the movie.
The budget for the movie grew from $350,000 to a $2.5 million budget in a matter of days. This pricing is something the small town filmmaker has never experience. “He understands faith-based films as well as secular films, and he’s not scared of doing the right thing to tell the story and make an impact,” says Watson.
She says they plan to start shooting in May or June with hopes of having it completed by October. October is Domestic Violence Awareness month."
