"Film Clips" by Larry Levenson

from the May 2010 issue of KC Stage

More than a dozen cast and crew worked on a short movie in Louisberg. Valeri Bates, a freshman at the Art Institutes International of K.C., directed the movie.

K.C. Emmy award-winning production company Wide Awake Films and Los Angeles-based Travelin’ Productions are producing a feature movie called Arkansas Traveler. Production of key scenes took place in K.C. for the teaser that the producers will use to attract financiers. The movie stars Garret Dillahunt, who was seen in No Country for Old Men.

Justin Parlette and Eric Haven of K.C. have developed a web series called Dead Wait. They shot footage over a four-week period in St. Joseph at the former Mead factory.
