Kara with Rex Kerr as Bill

March 19th was our first shoot date, starting with the flashback scenes of Judy's life in Salina, Kansas. Barabara Kerr Condon plays Judy's mentally distracted Mother, and Rex Chaney embodies her abusive step-father Bill. We were fortunate to be able to use the home of Attorney and NPR legal commentator Tom Schiff. The living room of his lovely house was originally a one-room cabin... it had great atmosphere!

WISH LIST: every Production can use some help...

(Financial assistance will be greatly appreciated, of course.)

We believe in the power of prayer, and ask for your prayers for the production in general, that everything go smoothly, for the health of our cast and their families. We also ask for continued prayer regarding the Rights issues on the characters.... we've had some very good news tentatively, please join our prayers that this continue in this vein!
