Casting directors are now casting actors to work as extras in the upcoming feature film, “Big Stone Gap” filming in Virginia.
The upcoming feature film is based on the book series by Adriana Trigiani, a best selling author and director of the upcoming “Big Stone Gap” movie.
The feature film will star Ashley Judd and Patrick Wilson and begins filming this Saturday.
Trigiani worked for over 15 years to get the book made into a movie and filmed in Big Stone, Virginia where Adriana Trigiani grew up.
“Every frame of this movie will be shot here in your own backyard,” she told the crowd. “Your town will be very pretty, because I like pretty. And it will be very authentic because I like that. The feelings will be very real; the relationships [in the book and film] were almost manifestations of things I saw [growing up here.] They feel real and that’s important.”
Trigiani said she is aware she is filming the movie during an economic downturn, when small coal-reliant communities like Big Stone Gap are suffering.
“The truth is that potential is all around you here,” she said. “And people are really suffering, and that gets to me every day. The only way out of this is to celebrate yourselves.”
And that’s what the movie will be, she said.
“It’s really going to be about sharing what is so great about this area,” she said, adding that she is like the wire between the outlet and the lamp in terms of making the movie happen and illuminating the community. “I’m just the reporter.”
