In a Cage

Being from the same local area where this film was made, I was excited when I heard that they were seeking extras for a bar scene in the fall of 2011. I didn't actually get seen on camera (I was left on the cutting room floor, LOL) but it was still very exciting to be on the set of a real film production. One would never even begin to imagine how much hard work is put into these movies, especially if it has a small crew as this one did.

I was shocked to learn how many takes must be done, even when the actors are doing what seems like a great job, many, many takes are done just to be absolutely sure there is plenty to work with in editing.

For being an extra, I got a free invite when they premiered it in October 2013. Held at the Holiday Inn, there were 4 back to back screenings to oblige people with difficult schedules. It's a great topic that needs to be addressed.

This is a must see film that tackles domestic violence and the importance of trying to be a voice for a battered woman. For an independent production I thought they did a fantastic job. Christopher Hunt who played Robert & Paisley Blackburn who played Kristy were outstanding and had great chemistry.

I think this film would be a wonderful movie to show at Domestic Violence shelters as I believe it could help save lives and give people strength to seek help.
