A Place Called Home, a new independent movie filmed in Kentucky, will premiere online on Tuesday, Dec. 20.
The movie was filmed in Logan County in 2019 over the course of 30 days, according to a press release. It stars Ben Gavin (Super 8, Dark Tower, Missing at 17) as Levi, a widower with two daughters, played by Kentucky natives McCarron Stith and Meredith Bayer.
The movie focuses on the aftermath Levi deals with when his wife dies in childbirth: Living paycheck to paycheck was hard enough, says a press release, but with the loss of his wife, things become increasingly strained forcing Levi to make some difficult decisions.
Director/writer and Kentucky native Kiel Thorlton said in a statement, It was imperative that this film, given the subject matter and style, be filmed inside the American South. The fact that this area is where I found my love of filmmaking was a bonus.
