Release
Dick Fisher tapped to helm film in the Tucson area.
The narrative short subject, INCIDENT AT ALMA, is a period
piece set in 1935, to be shot at the movie set town, Gammons
Gulch, north of Benson.
Tucson, AZ, September 12, 2005:
The cameras will roll at the end of
this month on the dramatic short subject film, INCIDENT AT ALMA.
The film is a cautionary tale of race prejudice and personal
redemption. It tells the story of the last few minutes before the
"legal lynching" of a black farm hand in a small rural community
in Arizona. A preacher (played by Colin Cunningham, Stargate-1,
CSI: Miami, House, M.D.) is given ten minutes by the local
sheriff (veteran western actor Don
Collier) to minister to the
condemned man (introducing Kwane Vedrene). Their brief
conversation creates an unsettling bond between the two and
reveals more than the preacher was prepared for. The experience
leaves the preacher, and ultimately the rest of the town, changed
forever.
"When I first read the script I saw elements of TO KILL A
MOCKINGBIRD mixed with THE GREEN MILE," said director Dick Fisher.
"It’s a timely, dramatic piece with a lot to say about the human
spirit." Fisher, who was the co-creator of the Sundance grand
prize winner, THE BROTHERS McMULLEN, is teamed once again with
producer/writer/actor David Lee Rawlings who created the 2004
Arizona International Film Festival favorite DAY OF REMEPTION.
INCIDENT AT ALMA will be shot on location at GAMMONS GULCH, a
movie set village north of Benson. Proprietor Jay Gammons has
assembled an impressive collection of antiques in his recreation
of post-Depression Arizona. "Dick and I chose to shoot the film at
Gammons because of the authentic depth of detail which allows us
to create a period drama on a limited budget," said producer
Rawlings. "Plus Jay and Joanne Gammons, as usual, couldn’t be more
accommodating."
The film is designed to be a showcase for the talents of
Arizona filmmakers and, when completed, will be distributed for
screening at film festivals worldwide.
