BEYOND UPDATE! - The Latest from the feature film Beyond The Farthest Star

Todd Terry (“Lonely Hearts”, “Arlington Road”, “Fissure”) is assuming the role of Adam Wells. The producers are very excited about this new addition to the film. He joins an impressive cast which includes Renee O’Connor ("Xena", "State Of Hate", "Boogeyman 2") as Maureen Wells, Barry Corbin (“No Country for Old Men”, “One Tree Hill”, “War Games”) Billy McNamara (“Copycat”, “Chasers”, “Legend of Hell’s Gate”) and Andrew Prine (“The Miracle Worker”, “Gettysburg”, “The Dukes of Hazzard”). Mr. Prine also recently joined the cast as Senator John Cutter.

Todd is perfect for the lead role. He is local to Texas, has stellar credits and has worked with us before. He has assumed the role seamlessly, and is doing an incredible job.

Todd Terry previously worked with director, Andrew librizzi in our award-winning short film “Still Born.” The film was completed from concept to final edit within two weeks, for Project 168 in Los Angeles. “Still Born” was nominated for eleven awards and won both Best Acting categories, including Todd Terry as Best Actor

One Down. Three To Go.

Our first week is now complete. Shooting took place at a home in Leonard, Texas (one hour northeast of Dallas). This is the Wells house where the family spends most of their time. It was an intense effort as the crew braved two days of rain and long cold nights, shooting into the early morning. Some nights didn’t wrap until 4 am. This week, the company will spend two days in Celeste, Texas shooting school scenes and then it’s back to Leonard.
